ABOUT 2016 SOCAL GRAVEL TROFEE:  This ride is part of the SoCalCross Gravel Trofee Series and is the first of five themed gravel rides this Spring into Summer. Trofee events are timed/creatively scored rides and will be tabulated at the end of the season for overall finisher prizes and the winner Trofees!
THIS IS A TIMED RIDE, NOT A RACE: We ride to enjoy our open space and challenge ourselves in an incredible environment. We are obligated to yield the right of way to ALL other trail users. In fact, STOP and DISMOUNT when horses are near. The caretakers of these open spaces have been very gracious to allow this event. So lets return the favor and be kind. We obey all traffic laws and common sense.
