If you’re looking for something to test your limits, there’s a lot of opportunity in gravel. The LA Tourist Race might be responsible for a good number of them, but their Trans San Gabriel route is on another level.

California is such a large state with so many diverse landscapes that it’s tough to grasp it all.
