We finally did it. Our first official-ish ALMSTHRE group ride out of the new HQ in Carlsbad, California. We’d been talking about this forever, but something always seemed to get in the way—until now. One ride down, many more to go.
41 miles. 4,500 feet of climbing. A nearly perfect 60/40 dirt-to-road ratio. North County at its finest.
We rolled out as a crew of 20-30, the sun blessing us with mid-60s to low 70s after a week of rain. Ideal conditions, right? Well, about 10 miles in, it became clear that some folks were here to hammer. I, however, was not. After holding onto a wheel for a bit, a group of five of us (accidentally) took a scenic detour and never saw the rest of the pack again. If you’re wondering why the video makes it look like only five people showed up—well, now you know.
Was it an amazing loop? Yes. Do you want to ride it yourself? Also yes.
Full GPS details are in the link below. Take it, ride it, tweak it—just don’t follow me, because apparently, I make wrong turns.

See you next month. Same vibe, same (lack of) structure.
Few mountain bike races in Southern California have the legacy of the Sagebrush Safari. Since 1987, this event has drawn riders eager to tackle its rugged terrain, fast descents, and punchy climbs. As we gear up for this year's race in March, let's take a deep dive into what makes the course so special and why you should be lining up at the start.

Known for his explosive sprints, masterful bike handling, and fearless descents, Sagan has made the impossible look effortless time and time again.
