Putting together a locally sourced gravel event isn’t easy, but the driving force behind them makes the difficulty worth it. The Butte County Gravel Grind is another great example of the community wanting to showcase their region for others to enjoy while also raising money to further the cause. I was fortunate to ride out […]

In the information age there shouldn’t be that many gotchas, but the greatness of Yreka gravel should come as no surprise. There have been many times driving around California I’ve looked off-road and thought the riding would be amazing.

It’s hard to tell if you’ve never done a Taco Bell Century if it’s a good idea and maybe finishing one doesn’t clear it up either. Kevin and Priscilla of Grizzly Cycles are veterans with this being their fifth edition and perhaps the toughest. Doing a 105 mile clockwise loop out of Grizzly Cycles into

While proms have themes, the expectation that something similar could encapsulate a particular Sea Otter Classic is a bit of an overreach. Every year innovations and trends always progress, but change in the bike world doesn’t happen at a rapid nor glacial pace. Instead, I call it at human scale as there are no instant
