2024 Brewfondo Graveler (10-5-24)

The Brewfondo Graveler is a gravel ride event offering three distances to riders with unforgettable views of the Tehachapi Mountains and Valleys culminating with a party on TK Pizza's patio. This year we are donating to the AMERICAN LEGION Post 221 to help Veterans in our local Tehachapi area.   Join the Brewfondo gravel ride on Saturday, October 5th, with finisher medals, lunch, beer, a raffle and an after ride party at TK Pizza.

We are busy working with local landowners to bring you some exciting routes.  We plan on releasing routes about 30 days before the event. Below is a description of what we are expecting.

What bike should I use?

Well, it is a gravel event, but a mountain bike is not a bad choice either. During your ride and based on the terrain (paved, gravel, loose & sand) there will be times you would prefer a mountain bike and times you would prefer a gravel bike. So start geeking out on what bike, tire size, air pressure, etc.... and come on out and conquer this mountain.

Courses will be marked with colored route arrows, signs, and chalk arrows.  GPS files in some popular formats will also be available, i.e. Strave, .gpx, Ride GPS etc...

Keg (45+/-mi) 5000ft  

This will be tough, let's see what you are made of, and if you find it not that tough, tell us and we will fix it for next year.  You can expect a great day of climbing with some very nice single track with loose over hard and rocky terrain and some paved roads that will get you to your next gravel section. Don't forget the exciting sand and hike-a-bike sections.

Growler (27+/-mi) 3000ft 

This will be a challenge.  You can also expect climbing while enjoying some great technical single track, some paved roads, country gravel roads with some sand, and maybe a little hike-a-bike too.

Pint (15+/-mi) 1500ft 

Dip your toes into gravel riding or make it a family event and ride together.  You'll get to do some climbing while experiencing some clean single track, with country gravel roads and paved roads that snake you back to the finish line.
