Four Seasons of Stoke: Our Most Memorable Rides of 2024

Throughout 2024, we've been fortunate to share a handful of stories through meaningful partnerships and unforgettable group rides that have taken us from the shores of Southern California to the dramatic peaks of the Sierra Nevada. This year we had the pleasure of working with several brands and friends, publishing one significant story from each quarter of the year.

Our year of adventures began in the wine country of Temecula, where we joined the local community at Gravel & Wine for a race that kicked off the year. Spring then brought us to the iconic Sea Otter Classic, where our Hielo Ride, in collaboration with Enduro Bearings and Thesis Bike, showcased the incredible riding possibilities in Fort Ord. As summer turned to fall, the Eastern Sierra called, and our journey with Mammoth Tuff delivered an epic high-altitude experience that pushed boundaries and created lasting memories.

Our ride collaborations with Gravel Bike California, Thank Gravel It's Friday, Attaquer, BWR, and Colnago were equally memorable, and we hope to continue this momentum into 2025 as we seek new adventures and share new routes with friends. Below you'll find links to each story from these memorable rides, which we hope will inspire your own adventures in the new year. These rides, each unique in their terrain and character, showcase not just the diversity of gravel cycling, but the incredible community that makes every adventure worth sharing. Join us as we revisit these memorable stories and prepare to close out the year with what might be our most captivating report yet.

Join us tomorrow as we share our final signature story of 2024 – an extraordinary adventure we had the privilege of experiencing with The Cycling House, a 5-day journey into the Chiricahua Mountains. This final collaboration represents everything we've strived to capture throughout the year: the spirit of exploration, the joy of community, and the raw beauty of discovering new terrain on two wheels.
