Adventure Starts Here
Join us for Dev Team hosted Saturday gravel rides in North County San Diego. We’ve crafted a course that includes some of our favorite roads and trails that will serve as a consistent template for this new weekly tradition. This route starts at The Lost Abbey in Cardiff, CA before heading east through local gravel tracks in Encinitas and Carlsbad. We then cut through secret Rancho Santa Fe horse trails before entering single track and gravel heaven by way of the Coast to Crest Trail, Lusardi Creek, Black Mountain, and Gonzales Canyon! If you opt for the Superstoked route you get to play in Deer Canyon Trail and Lopez Canyon too. We’ll start to gather around 8:00AM at The Lost Abbey Confessional, then depart at 8:30AM. Food, beverages, and story-telling will be enjoyed by all at The Confessional post-ride near Seaside Market in Cardiff.
Our Saturday Gravel Route
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.
SELF-SUPPORTED
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.
