Infestation Gravel is an untimed fondo-style event traversing the peninsula's finest gravel! A mass start will be limited to 150 riders, with support stations along the way providing water, food, and hilarity. The event will start and end from Mitchell Park in Palo Alto, and food and drinks will be served following the ride.

​

This event is in partnership with Live In Peace, a Bay Area non-profit whose mission is to empower youth and young adults to reclaim the vision for their future. $5 for every entry will go to support Live in Peace! Additionally, LIP will be hosting a charity bike drive at the event - more details to come!

​

Course Description: The ride begins with a leisurely group departure from Mitchell Park at 8am, continuing up Dirt Alpine, thru the Midpen preserves bordering Skyline, down thru John Nicholas Trail at Sanborn County Park, and back along surface streets to Palo Alto.

 

Note that the trails along Monte Bello and Skyline Reserve are reasonably technical, for this reason we recommend intermediate+ level riders only!
