--------------------

An intimate gathering of our trail loving friends riding rad bikes, sitting by the fire, sleeping in tents, and sharing good times presented by ZOIC Clothing.  Ride the beautiful rolling meadows and woods of Big Laguna Trail with a guided group or explore on your own. Try a demo bike from a variety of manufacturers including Ellsworth, Eminent, Trek, Ibis, Giant/LIV and Turner.  Join in the Scavenger Hunt and explore the meadow like never before.  Arrange shuttles with friends to hit Noble Canyon or experience the complete loop with a climb back up Indian Creek. Sit in the shade and soak in the Mount Laguna vibes at El Prado Group Camp with a cold Big Laguna Trail Ale from Rouleur Brewing.  

This event is expected to sell out very quickly so don’t delay.  We have a very limited capacity for this event based on camping space and parking.
