A couple weeks ago I knocked out the Los Padres Traverse. It’s a long point-to-point gravel route through the Sierra Madre and San Rafael mountains of the Los Padres National Forest, made popular by Christopher Blevins’ successful FKT attempt/film from a few years back. The route was long, rugged, and isolated with the only water available along the route coming from a spring 50 miles in. 10/10 recommend.

How is this bike ? Would you recommend it ?
Great pics! What kinda distance/elevation does the route cover?
Can’t believe you did that route on a gravel bike! Big props. I know someone who did it as well and that sounds like a gnarly route.
The colors on that frame against the mountain backdrop are 10/10.
My absolute dream bike.
Some day I will be able to afford it 🥺
How’s do you like your MTB bike?
