Rock Cobbler (Gravel)

When you finish (if you finish) you will know WHY it’s called the Rock Cobbler. 

Gravel Grinder? Sorta...

The Rock Cobbler is a stupidly hard ride bordering on a race. The Pebbler is less stupidly hard but still a true challenge. As always we are passionate and driven to showcase roads, dirt trails, gravel and a VERY challenging route not yet ridden, not yet tamed. The Cobbler will be roughly 90+ miles and 6800ft+ of elevation consisting of county asphalt roads, trails, private land, a river, a creek and a brewery. The Pebbler will be 50ish miles and roughly 4000ft+. As is tradition the final routes are announced the week of the event. Both will be very hard but will be very fun, in a very Bakersfield Way...

The rides are designed for a cross bike...with a file tread 700x34 tire such as the Specialized Trigger Pro Tubeless. Great tire and a generous sponsor. A mountain bike will work. You might do pushups, throw water balloons, hike with your bike and enjoy cussing us. More than once.

?There are 3 categories: Men, BAD ASS women and this year, tandem. We will honor the first male and female finisher and the first TANDEM as we see fit. Got it, Gritters?...TANDEM
