September 17–20 · Pismo Beach, California
Inspired by World Ducati Week. The whole state, one ride.
California Ducati Week, powered by Ducati Official Clubs, follows the spirit of World Ducati Week and is built for our roads. After a successful 2025 debut, the second edition returns to Pismo Beach in the year of the Ducati Centenary. Centrally located between Northern and Southern California, it brings the state's Ducati Official Clubs together for a long weekend of riding, coastal roads, and social evenings.
2026 is the year of the Ducati Centenary. California Ducati Week is proud to ride as part of the worldwide celebrations of Ducati's first hundred years, out on California roads.
The inaugural edition ran September 4–7, 2025 and was co-awarded Ducati’s “Best 25th Anniversary Celebration”. See the full CADW 2025 recap.
Pismo Beach is a Central Coast base between Northern and Southern California, with access to Pacific Coast Highway, Paso Robles wine country, and some of the best coastal riding in the state. The whole event is concentrated around the Pismo Beach Pier, with two venues side by side for an easy, walkable weekend.
A simple shape for the week. Exact timing is being confirmed and will be shared with registered riders.
Routes are guided, supported, and grouped by pace. Here is the kind of riding the Central Coast puts on the table.
Coastal · All levelsThe classic. Open ocean on one side, long flowing curves, and the views every rider comes to California for.
Coastal · Big Sur gatewayThe dramatic cliffs where the Big Sur coastline begins. A classic regroup stop on the ride north, with the Pacific dropping away below.
Coastal · Big SurThe postcard finale of the coast ride toward the Monterey Peninsula: the arched Bixby Creek Bridge over the Big Sur cliffs, a highlight of the Saturday long ride.
Ride your own ride. Routes are scouted, marshalled, and swept, with stops to regroup. Bring gear, a serviced bike, and a full tank.
