There’s a select number of aspirational rides on the GBC list and biking Bodie has been near the top. I specifically didn’t have this in my bucket list for the reasons that I hadn’t seen that much recon online and it’s a big commitment to reach if you live anywhere near the coast. Even though

The Santa Ana Mountains are similar to

The second time can be the charm finally making good on this attempt for some Bolinas Ridge gravel. Last year, we were planning a Send It to do this very loop, but the jurisdiction thought we were holding a big event (which wasn’t the case) and we opted to have a more pavement friendly route
