To the Bay!

Gravel route on Bermuda Harbour, Novato, Marin County, California

"Short little segment out to the bay - can be rutted when dry and greasy when moist"

46 mi   gravel

SunRiver to Bend - Out and Back

Gravel route from Fireglass Loop to Caldera Springs Dr, Bend, Deschutes County, Oregon

"There maybe a good gravel route from SunRiver to Bend, but this isn’t it. About 60% gravel; 40% road. I would strongly recommend taking the single track trail “Afternoon Delight” that parallels Coughlin Rd / NF 41 vs taking Coughlin / NF 41 - which is loose gravel and washboard."

26 mi   gravel

La Pine Gravel Tour

Gravel route on Fireglass Loop, Bend, Deschutes County, Oregon

"Beautiful and easy route through La Pine State Park. Largely follows the Fall and Deschutes Rivers."

47 mi   gravel

46 Long Miles

Gravel route from Palisade Rd to Sugarpine Dr, Incline Village, Washoe County, Nevada

"Probably better suited to a short travel 29er than a gravel bike, this route was pretty miserable on a gravel bike. Had to refill water at lake Watson and use chlorine tablets - be prepared. "

42 mi   gravel

Frog Lake

Gravel route on Palisade Rd, Soda Springs, Placer County, California

"Really a mix of everything, road, gravel and mtb. Little options for treated water in route so bring filtration options."

17 mi   gravel

Brockway to Truckee - The Gravel Way

Gravel route from Mount Watson Rd to Mount Watson Rd, Truckee, Nevada County, California

"Super fun route . . . so much better than the road. Mostly double track, some single track closer to Truckee but completely slayable on a gravel bike. "

12 mi   gravel

Soda Springs to Truckee via Cold Stream Canyon

Gravel route on , Truckee, Nevada County, California

"Mostly double track with several abandoned train tunnels on the route (bring a light). Depending on the season there will likely be some stream crossing so be prepared to get your tootsies wet "

8 mi   gravel

Train Tunnels from Serene to Donner

Gravel route on S Shore Dr, Truckee, Nevada County, California

"Track is primarily double track but there are several abandoned train tunnels that this goes through so would recommend a light. No railroad or railroad ties in the train tunnels but railroad base is abundant so be prepared for slower rolling tires. The ending descent is a ripping hoot! "
