2017 Grasshopper Adventure Series #6 King Ridge Dirt Supreme
King Ridge Dirt Supreme is the 6th event of the Grasshopper Adventure Series. It’s one long tough route. Miles and miles of road with short sections of tricky dirt to keep you honest. This is one of my favorites of the series but also one I always suffer on. Oh the pain, oh the joy.…

2017 Rock Lobster Cup III
Ground this video out from the Rock Lobster Cup III cyclocross race. It was held at Wilder Ranch in Santa Cruz in hot dry conditions. One big loop, up over and down. Rinse and repeat. I raced the single-speed A category and suffered on the climb. But the rest wasn’t bad. The technical drop back…

2017 Grasshopper Adventure Series #2 Chileno Valley
The second event of the 2017 Grasshopper Adventure Series escaped the recent atmospheric river rains and had sunny beautiful weather. But that didn’t make the Chileno Valley Hopper that much easier. What was easier was the option to take a shorter route of 53 miles and 4947 feet of climbing. There was still the original…

2017 Grasshopper Adventure Series #1 Old Caz
Quick capture from the first portion of the 2017 Grasshopper Adventure Series Old Caz event. Cold weather and a dying GoPro battery limited the capture. Oh well.. Really fun day and Old Caz is always the best of the series. And we were lucky not to have Austin Creek flowing higher than thigh deep! Thanks…
