It’s clear looking back at previous years that it seems impossible to keep an upward trajectory, but the Best of Gravel 2022 somehow does that. I still remember 2021 fondly, but obviously with the pandemic lightening up came more events and opportunities for travel. We also brought back our Send It Series after a two […]

Revenge is a dish not always best served cold. Mount Lukens is one of the most underrated gravel rides in Los Angeles, but still you need to time it right to take advantage. Three years ago when we had one of our earliest Send It rides during December, a week wasn’t enough for all the

Cycling isn’t just a recreation, but it’s a vibe. It’s playful, but sometimes we forget to embrace it and Kari and Dom of Thank Gravel It’s Friday brought their boundless enthusiasm for another heralded edition of their Endless Summer ride.

Fortunately, our Facebook group is a

I love how Bakersfield continues to impress and the opportunity of Rancheria Road gravel does not disappoint. During the pandemic, I was scanning around for rides within a two hour drive from Los Angeles and was surprised to find a few were in range around the foothills of the Sierra. Strava heat maps only tell
