***If you would like to join this ride but it is cost prohibitive to do so or if you need to borrow gear to make it happen, please let us know.

This ride is brought to you in partnership with Kona Bicycles. Dustin Watson of Kona will be joining us for the ride, and riding the new Kona Ouroboros gravel bike, which is also available at the shop. Everyone on the trip will receive a Voile strap and Kona multi-tool!!! And one lucky rider will win a box full of Voile straps, a multi-tool, gloves, grips, water bottles, and other sweet Kona odds and ends!

We’ll be leaving Campfire Cycling at 11AM for a 23 mile ride up the loop (Paved, car-free bike path) with bathrooms (with showers!) as well as water fountains and options for supplies on the way to Catalina State Park. We’ll be staying at a group campground with room for 20 tents.

On our Community Events/Rides we follow our Campfire Code of Conduct. We strive to create a positive and supportive environment where everyone feels welcome and heard. We don’t assume anyone’s abilities based on outwards appearance. We take responsibility for our actions and words. We respect the land, it’s original stewards and leave no trace.

If this is your first bikepacking trip, we are here to help. If you like advise on gear need or want any other advice we strongly recommend you stop by with your bike or pack up your bike for the trip and bring it by the shop so we can checkout your setup and make recommendations as needed. Feel free to set up an appointment or just stop on by.

While this is a beginner oriented bikepacking trip, everyone is welcome. I’m sure anyone new will appreciate having experienced campers along for the ride.  It’s a great opportunity to do a shake down run with new gear or a new-to-you setup as well as sharing experience, knowledge and setups.

This will be a no drop ride. We ride at a party pace with many stops, with regrouping as well as resupply. There are bathrooms and water along the route. Campfire Cycling will also always have a mechanic at the back of the ride so no one is left behind in case trouble arises. There is also food available near the camp.
