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!
