Join us on Sunday, July 9 for an 8:00 am ride rolling from Cadence Cyclery of Encinitas. The plan is a 4-5 hour ride that includes some of our favorite roads, gravel, and singletrack. Ride will loop back to Cadence where we’ll gather for food and drinks post-ride at the Moto Deli cafe. These are generally fast-paced rides, with occasional regroups at key intersections and summits. This is not a beginner ride, and you may find yourself alone at some point. Be sure to download the route and have a plan!

EQUIPMENT
With a diversity of road and dirt surfaces the optimal bike for Gravelstoke rides are a gravel or cross bike with tires at least 38mm in width. Tubeless tires are highly recommended. Please ride completely self-sufficient with a hand pump, CO2 cartridges, extra tubes and other appropriate trailside repair gear.

This is a self-supported ride, with no SAG wagon or aid stations. Routes are not marked and you are 100% responsible for yourself, your mechanicals, your food/water resupplies, and your retrieval off route (in case of emergency).
TRAIL ETIQUETTE
Please help us keep our trails safe and enjoyable for all. Whenever passing hikers, equestrians or other riders be prepared to slow down, say hi and pass in a safe and friendly manner. Always stay on designated trails and never ride dirt in wet or muddy conditions. Find more information on trail etiquette here.
