So, you want everything? How about the best of everything? Lassen Gravel Adventure Ride has it ALL! We have all kinds of surfaces from primo smooth gravel to technical 2-track roads and everything in between. There are challenging climbs, fast flats and smile inducing downhills. This is not a race, but an adventure ride, so enjoy the spectacular scenery as you cruise through pine forests and beautiful mountain meadows. As you ride along the Susan River, you'll pass through two incredible, historical train tunnels on the Bizz Johnson Trail! The long course will take you near the shores of two serene, high altitude lakes. We have 3 different courses to fit into all levels of riding and several well stocked rest stops. You might be thinking "Oh sure, another one of those 60% pavement, 40% gravel rides". Not our ride! The Lassen Gravel Adventure Ride is 97% GRAVEL. This is one you don't want to miss!
