[@markfisch1396]

Great ride I’ll try it, thanks!

[@GravelBikeCalifornia]

Get past Eldred and take it from there!!

[@gravelpack8536]

Awesome ride and a awesome video

[@GravelBikeCalifornia]

Thanks again for making it out and cookies....

[@justin10054]

Where did you get that shirt? It's so cool!

[@GravelBikeCalifornia]

Ostroy. I think they're out of the button down, but are releasing a t-shirt version of it.

This ride looked incredible! I love how it dipped into the Arroyo Fest event! Will this ride happen again next year? - I'm bummed to have missed this ride! I planned on heading down there after The Bovine gravel event in Atascadero (the day before this ride) but had to go home.

[@GravelBikeCalifornia]

That's a good question. I know for open streets that the orgs have to apply for grants well in advance, so I haven't seen anything yet. I'll definitely ask.

I've been looking for a group ride like this. When is the next one?

[@GravelBikeCalifornia]

Just announced a Santa Cruz stroll Monday, June 17, but LA announcements coming for June 23 & July 14.

[@leguiarte]

I made a fraction of a second cameo.

[@GravelBikeCalifornia]

Any longer and I would have had to pay SAG dues.

[@zepolekul]

That was me, “the great one” on the penny😁

[@GravelBikeCalifornia]

Sweet! I was going to yell, "Jesus saves, but Gretzky scores on the rebound", but I thought that joke was too wordy to be audible.

Ride Eldridge as part of the Feel My Legs I'm a Racer series some years back. Those were the days of 23mm tires and compact cranks had just came out, so I was running a 34x28 climbing gear and still failing miserably up most of the 10 climbs. LA is so great for riding - I don't live in LA anymore but I often think about how epic the cycling there would be on the modern tech of today.

[@GravelBikeCalifornia]

The only other times I've tried it was on my road bike with a 36 in front and a 28 in back. I thought I had a better chance on this set up (34-34), but I couldn't shift into that last important gear!!

[@PrestonBoebel]

The green beer was really good, but did have special side effects!

[@GravelBikeCalifornia]

Special superhuman side effects??

[@michaelgoodman3326]

Thanks Zach! Super fun route. Really enjoyed it, though the 28c road tires felt a bit narrow on some of the softer dirt. Looking forward to the next one!

[@GravelBikeCalifornia]

Ha. Maybe the next one will be slightly closer for us...

[@edt459]

Wonderful ride, many thanks to you for hosting and leading. Cheers!

[@GravelBikeCalifornia]

There will be more...but different.

[@mattkavanaugh5623]

Great route! Very creative. Looks like a fun ride.

[@GravelBikeCalifornia]

It was a hit. Expect more of this!

[@devindoherty184]

awesome vid as always, zach!

[@GravelBikeCalifornia]

This one was easy with so much packed in.
