3 Hours Gravel Ride in Los Angeles with Photos Included
The chance to ride with one of the most experienced gravel cyclist in the LA area, I know these trails like the back of my hand. This tour starts out with a classic climb "Sullivan Ridge" and connects to the ridgeline of dirt Mulholland. The first climb is challenging but the reward at the top is great. From Dirt Mulholland we will travers over to "The Hub" another classic LA gravel location before making our way over to the Pacific Palisades for the best views of the ride before a fast and fun descent taking us off of the dirt and back onto pavement. The ride finishes with a nice flat cruise along the beach before heading back up San Vicente to the meeting point to head home or grab a bite to eat. I am happy to accommodate any skill level or length preference. I am also a professional photographer and will provide images from the ride.
