Best of Gravel Bike California 2025

Best of Gravel Bike California 2025

Every year I compile this list I’m pleasantly surprised, but in different ways.

We were lucky for our five year anniversary to be graced with two of our top three rides ever in Catalina and Bodie that I expected that trend to keep coming.

While we did have two bucket list experiences in Folsom Rodeocross and Mont Ventoux, none of our gravel rides reached that A+ level last year.

Felt like a quandry, but once I started looking at it I was surprised that we had so many at B+ and above it made me reconsider this year’s list.

Many of these rides would have made the top ten lists in other years, so we felt like it was only fit that we went fifteen deep.

It took some extra time to add all these in, but this was such a robust year, they had to be represented:

#15 Send It Sacramento
#14 Send It East Bay
#13 Send It Maverick Cycles
#12 Redlands Strada Rossa
#11 Butte County Gravel Grind
#10 Send It Big Bear
#9 Tour De Big Bear: Dirty Bear
#8 San Luis Obispo Gravel: James Dean & Lonely Landmarks of Shandon
#7 Huffmaster
#6 Everyone Loves Raymond: Growler
#5 Pismo Preserve
#4 Life Time Sea Otter Classic
#3 Yreka: Home of the Greenhorn Gravel Grinder
#2 Sonoma Cycling: Chasing the Mega Hopper
#1 Eastern Sierra Gravel: Mammoth Tuffest
