Even with the shock value of a name like Mount Disappointment you’d figure it’d be well known, but there’s a lot of context behind a full answer. The Angeles National Forest sits on the northern edge of the Los Angeles Basin and looking from afar there are many peaks to choose from. For most Angelenos, […]

The less you do, the worse the payoff normally, but our February Send It out of Bike Dog Brewing did the exact opposite. I am far more familiar with Sacramento than other big cities in California visiting friends, doing a marathon and coming for the Cal Bike convention a few years ago. While I have

While California has variety of landscapes of our own, Huffmaster adds yet another niche to our diverse palette. Sitting on the edge of the Sacramento Valley up against the eastern edge of the Coastal Range, this 89 mile loop covers a decent subset of Colusa county. As the second event of the year for Grasshopper Adventure

Hoping this was a third time’s a charm for me, I was hoping for some mastery for Rock Cobbler 11. While the course changes every year, I have been developing a sense of the riding even though the routes extend over 80 miles. Still, there was something different going into this edition as California has

Completing an LA Tourist Race has always been a fascination of mine, but in its four years of existence I haven’t gone all in on an attempt until now. Given a specific number of checkpoints, it’s always a big conversation how you plan your route where you trade off distance for difficulty. As part of

While the Lost Coast was central to this adventure, it felt like bad planning at this point to add yet another herculean effort after never experiencing anything of this sort. Day three featured the same amount of gain, but this time over 140 miles meaning most of the vert would be sublte. I didn’t want

With the LA Tourist Race coming to help kick off the gravel (if you choose) adventure season, so does the influx of questions to GBC for what to do. It’s a lot easier just to make a video to give a clear understanding for what I’m thinking, but also to let people know that what
