This Summer Solstice, we’ll be joining You Bet Bike Shop to pry open a new portal to the COSMOS! 👁️🌌
The Details: June 21st, parking at @_you.bet_, and we roll out at 10 am sharp. They have rad merch, so show up early if you wanna support the shop that designed this sweet route for us.
This is self-supported overnight bikecamping on gravel and dirt roads in the Tahoe National Forest area.
35 miles total, with 4900 feet of climbing, spread over two days.
Tires at least 40c or bigger are recommended for this terrain, and bring your climbing gears for this one.
This will be dispersed camping following LNT principles, so bring: food, sleep system, a water filter, and a way to bury your own poop (trowel).
As always, this is a casual, open-invite trip.
No sag, and no registration or money is required, but we’ll try to make sure nobody is left behind or stranded.
Please download the route just in case, though. We all wear helmets and ask that you do as well.
These rides are at a conversational pace, and we stick together. If you want to KOM your Strava or impress people by being first up the climb, don’t bother coming, as the best of the party is at the back of the pack.
Jay has made us a killer route for us this year, with a couple of lovely swim stops on the Yuba. Link to the route, so be sure to download it in one form or another before the trip, as cell service can be nonexistent in this area. Don’t hesitate to jump into any of our DM’s (@californiatravis, @coyote_brush ,@_you.bet_ for questions, and we hope to see you there!
