Rat Beach Bike Tour

Tentative planning has already begun for the 2021 RAT BEACH BIKE TOUR. We are pushing for Saturday, September 25, 2021, if all goes well and the Cities and County go along with it, we are a GO. We are hoping the pandemic will be a memory and herd immunity has kicked in. We have some great plans being developed and some great charities to support so wish us luck..........

OCTOBER 14, 2017, with START/FINISH and FINISH FIESTA at the SEASIDE LAGOON, REDONDO BEACH.

There are current talks going on and it looks like there might be a revival of the RAT BEACH BIKE TOUR!!! Do I hear any interest for a Late September/Early October RAT BEACH BIKE TOUR??? A Full Metric Century, Half Century and a Quarter Century

HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT!!! The City has just approved the RAT BEACH BIKE TOURS first Craft Beer Garden during the "After Ride Fiesta." So what could make a Saturday better? Do a great bike ride, have a GREAT LUNCH, enjoy the FIESTA, then sample some LOCAL CRAFT BEERS.... So tell all your friends and get registered today at ratbeachbiketour.com.

We will be back in 2018, once we resolve the challenges currently facing our ability to put on a first-class Rat Beach Bike Tour that you have grown to expect. Respectfully, The Rat Team.

After many years of support the West Basin Municipal Water District has offered to sponsor the Rat Beach Bike Tour again for the 2017 ride. Great folks and very much into giving back to the community through their support of the Rat Ride.

We have just inked a deal with Performance Bicycle for their continued support of the the RAT BEACH BIKE TOUR. Performance Bicycle has been a ardent supporter of the RAT RIDE for several years, providing bike maintenance support at Home Base and Torrance Airport (Zamperini Field). This year they have offered to do a FREE 25 point bike safety check at there Torrance store located at 3550 Redondo Beach Blvd., Torrance, for all registered Rat Riders!!! So take your Rat Ride registration receipt with you and say hi to the Store Manager John while you are there getting your bike checked.

We just did a walk through of the SeaSide Lagoon this morning to do the plot plan for our city permits. While there I thought I would take a few photos of our new exclusive Start/Finish venue. 2017 should be s banner year for the RAT BEACH BIKE TOUR. Go to ratbeachbiketour.com to register TODAY!!!

RAT RIDERS, because of the marvelous response to our FaceBook posts we are offering a $10 registration discount for the next two weeks to our FaceBook followers. Please enter "face2017" during registration to get the discount.

Getting ready to roll!

62 miles?! I thought you said 6.2 miles.

Another group of happy RAT RIDERS. Who are these guys?

As you guys are aware the RAT BEACH BIKE TOUR has been a long time supporter of the WOUNDED HEROES. They actually work SAG Stop #2 in Marina Del Rey during the ride and a good portion of your registration monies go directly to them. They are having a fund raiser in Hawthorne selling fireworks, see their flyer below. So, if you need firework be sure to buy them from our veterans. MAYBE YOU CAN RIDE YOUR BIKE TO THEIR STAND TO PICK THEM UP!!!! Might be a good workout and a little warm up to the RAT BEACH BIKE TOUR held on October 14, 2017.
