Stagecoach 400 Film - Episode 1

The Stagecoach 400 is one of those routes that defies easy description. Part ride, part race, part ritual — 400 miles linking mountain forests, desert basins, and the Pacific Ocean across Southern California. Sandstone Pictures just dropped Episode 1 of a five-part documentary series digging into how this route, originally dreamed up by Brendan Collier, became one of the most respected underground events in bikepacking culture. This first episode centers on the Grand Depart and the community that keeps showing up year after year. It's a good one.
