A new 7-part, weeknight gravel ride series presented by Gravelstoke. Starting July 14, join us on a point-to-point social ride every Thursday evening from the San Dieguito River Park - Santa Fe Valley Trail to The Sanctuary in San Elijo Hills. We will ride the same 20-mile course while introducing a new timed Strava segment each week. Go hard on the segment to collect points, while enjoying a casual pace on the rest. How you get to the start is up to you! We recommend riding from home to the start if you live in the area, or parking at the finish as the trailhead parking lot gates close after dark. Points will be awarded to the top 5 finishers of the segment challenge, and you must join our Strava Club and post the ride on Strava to contend. Point distribution will be announced at The Sanctuary after the ride this Thursday. Each week the new segment will be announced at www.gravelstoke.com/events with updated standings. At the end of the series, some dope prizes will be awarded to the top male and female point collectors!

The Rules
Download or memorize the route.
Be courteous and say hello to all other trail users including hikers, trail runners, dog walkers, and other cyclists.
Be fully self-supported with water, snacks, and your own bike repair gear. Cycling can be dangerous, and by riding your bike you accept responsibility for any injuries or damages incurred.
Join the Gravelstoke Strava Club as segment times will be sorted by our club membership.
We will plan to roll out from the shaded picnic table near the trailhead at 5:30PM, but you are welcome to start earlier or later as riders will likely arrive at different times.
Gather post-ride at The Sanctuary by The Lost Abbey in San Elijo Hills to connect, share stories and see who is on top of the leader board! Here is a route to the start if you would like to park at the finish.
Bring a headlight and tail light for the ride home or to your car.
Be safe, have fun, take photos!
