Spring Campout

About this event

This trip highlights the rolling hills, wildflowers, and gravel roads of Chino Hills State Park. Starting and ending at the Visitor Center of the park, this route is intentionally shorter than some of our other gravel routes to encourage first-time and emerging bikepackers. We give this route our Turtle (chill route) rating because of the shorter distance (<25mi per day) and relatively low elevation (<1,000ft per day). This route gets our Lizard (dirt & gravel) rating. Almost 95% of roads are dirt/gravel roads in Chino Hills State Park, with a small amount of paved road near the campsite. The unpaved surfaces range from hard-packed, gravel, some larger but avoidable rocks. They are semi-maintained dirt roads. A gravel, atb, rigid mtb, or touring bike with dirt tires 40mm or larger is ideal. In line with our mission we will be prioritizing 50% of our campout lottery spots for BIPOC, transgender, and gender expansive riders and prioritizing new and emerging bikecampers for this entry level trip. Experienced bikepackers are encouraged to apply for one of our wolf level trips later in the year. All riders are responsible for themselves and their decisions. This is a guided bike camping trip with ride leads and sweeps, but there is no sag or outside vehicle support on this ride. We do have a full gear library of items available to borrow before the trip.
