East County Calling: Our Last Gravel Adventure of 2024
Join us for our final adventure of 2024 - a 55-mile gravel expedition through East County San Diego. In partnership with Los Coyotes, we'll explore a new route through some of the region's mixed surfaces. The event kicks off at 7:30 AM with coffee and donuts provided by Eliel Cycling, before rolling out at 8 AM from the Bushy Hill/Father Junipero parking lot.
After conquering 4,000 feet of elevation gain and diverse terrain, we'll celebrate at Societe Brewing, where we'll enjoy their renowned Belgian-style beers alongside delicious Mexican fare from Chacho's Tacos food truck. Don't miss this chance to close out the year with an unforgettable day of gravel grinding and good company!

We're deploying two strategic Scouting Parties ahead of the 2025 Great Western Reroute — each delivering a 40-mile taste of what makes the 8th annual GWR our most ambitious edition yet.
