In what seems like a lifetime ago, I attended Cal and lived close to the campus, but I wasn’t much of a biker or explorer into the parks above. Ironically, […]

Events, Southern California Gravel

PLEASE READ ENTIRE NOTES FOR RIDE INFORMATION (Facebook or Strava RSVP): Last month’s return ride worked so well, that we wanted to keep things the same, but different.

Strada Rossa VIII Gravel Guide

Events, Southern California Gravel, Video

It’s been a long time coming, but I’ve been super eager to do Redlands Strada Rossa and it was definitely worth the wait. Last year, I was lucky enough to get a tour of the Redlands by part of the braintrust and was fantastically impressed. It was very different than most gravel I’ve ridden and

Alabama Hills Gravel Guide

Central California Gravel, Gravel Guides, Video

One of the most repeated questions I get center around the curiosity of Alabama Hills Gravel. The name itself raises eyebrows here in California as yes, it does link to confederate ties.

Calero County / Almaden Quicksilver Gravel Guide

Gravel Guides, Northern California Gravel, Video

There is so much joy in gravel because there are endless opportunities to discover great places to ride.

Consequently, there wasn’t that much noise about nearby routes on our Facebook
