Last year our Send It at Maverick Cycles was such a hit that running it back is a no brainer.
While we’re keeping a lot of the particulars the same, there will be one exciting hook as we’ll be giving out a free entry to the 2025 Life Time Sea Otter Classic Gravel Race for those in attendance!
If you don’t already know from The Radavist, Maverick Cycles is both a coffee shop and a produces a mouthwatering collection of apparel and accessories serving as a great cycling hub for the area thanks to Kevin Kang.
Before getting into the details, here are the RIDE RULES.
- The climbing when it does happen will take A LOT OF work. These rides will be extremely difficult if you’re a first timer or working your way back.
- We will meet at Maverick Cycles(15807 Whittier Blvd) for coffee at 8:00am, roll at 8:30am.
- Parking is available in the neighborhood, especially along Russell St. that branches east from Maverick Cycles
- The dirt is technical in certain sections. Good working brakes are a must!
- Everyone rides at their own risk. Make sure to bring your own tubes and a couple of water bottles. We’ll be stopping at mile 18 for refills.
- Riding tires 40mm and above will do the trick for most, as the climbs are steep and in the teens, while the downhill is technical. and there’s some soft patches on the dirt descents, as well as loose pavement on the road.
- There will be a number of regroups, but once everyone’s back, we roll!
- This will not be race pace, but we reiterate this ride is tough. If you’re just getting back into riding, I suggest you read Rule #1 again.
New for this year is having TWO food options with Rize Kitchen and El Campo Vegano both set up at Maverick (pro-tip: bring a chair).
We’ll also be covering the same route Brandon Pfaff laid out covering 30 miles with a variety of trails with a fun dirt descent to top it off:
We’ll be heading up towards Turnbull doing a nearly two mile climb up Rose Hills Fire Road before taking in the fun single track on the Seventh Street Loop.
The ride continues east hitting the throttle on the Schabarum Trail before looping back through the Puente Hills Preserve.
As you can see in our recaps, there’s a lot of fantastic riding around and if you’ve never been out this way, you’ll be pleasantly surprised!
RSVP for December 14th on Facebook or Strava to keep up on details.
