Great Gravel Ride - Lake Tahoe
This cool, new event will start and finish at Tahoe Cross-Country Ski Area (Tahoe XC) in Tahoe City, CA. Participants can choose a 15 mile (1 lap) or 30 mile (2 laps) course. Riders will see stunning views of Lake Tahoe and pedal rolling terrain throughout. This ride is sure to please your senses and challenge your legs and heart. The race will have 1 aid station on the course, a fantastic after-party, and a raffle with great prizes. While the ride is untimed, if you use Strava, we will have 3 Strava sections to test yourself: an Uphill, a Downhill, and a Rolling section. Your registration donation includes 10 raffle tickets (you can purchase more), great food from MogRog catering, and refreshing beverages at the end. All proceeds benefit our Tahoe Cross-Country Ski Education Association’s Youth Programs.
Course Details
Course Details: The course departs from the trailhead at Tahoe XC and heads Northwest. Folding in on itself several times, the route meanders through rolling terrain, beautiful meadows, and forested hills. There are a couple of challenging, yet short uphills and a mix of pavement, double track, and a fair amount of single track throughout the course that’ll keep the psych level high. Each lap is almost exactly 15 miles in length, and riders will occasionally catch great views of Lake Tahoe.
Level: All abilities are welcome!
Distance: 15 miles (1 lap) or 30 miles (2 laps)
Strava: View Course
Bike Specifics: This course would be best tackled with a gravel bike with 40c + tires, or a hardtail mountain bike. Pedal assist bikes are not allowed.
Cost: $125/adults, $75/juniors (under 19)
