A brand new adventure cycling event โ€” โ€œLow Gapโ€ โ€” has taken the place of Hopper Adventuresโ€™ uber-popular โ€œOld Cazโ€ which was cancelled for 2019 due to a slide. The January 26th ride kicks off the 21st year of the Grasshopper Adventure Series, a gravel and mixed-terrain cycling series. Event organizer Miguel Crawford says, โ€œLow Gap is the epitome of NorCal adventure riding and will not disappoint. Weโ€™ll be riding a course thatโ€™s half pavement and half dirt โ€” and trust me, those 22 miles of dirt will be off the hook!โ€

Another event new to the 2019 line-up is the series finale “Jackson Forest” on June 22. Familiar and oh-so-popular events make up the rest of the schedule. Located in West Sonoma and Mendocino Counties in Northern California, each Hopper is unique in its route and terrain and will challenge the rider and equipment like no other race series in the world. Come to adventure and explore or come to race and shred, itโ€™s up to you.

Prizes and cash are awarded to top three male and female overall for each race. Prizes for top three male and female will be awarded in each category for the series. Series winners must compete in five of the six Hoppers and MUST do King Ridge Dirt Supreme. Winners will also receive a custom Capo jersey and be crowned โ€œAdventure Champion of the Universe.โ€

A portion of the proceeds goes to: El Molino HS MB Team, Matt Wilson Memorial Scholarship, Ross Dillon Fund.
