The PELOTON Gravel MOB Recon Camp: Oct 13,14,15

Now in its fourth year, the PELOTON Gravel MOB in Ojai, California has earned a reputation for big climbs, epic vistas and a one hell of an after party. At just 58miles some riders can be fooled into thinking it’s not a big day in the saddle. They’re wrong! Two massive dirt climbs, a challenging ride across the ridge and a single track descent add up to almost 8000′ of climbing – all on dirt.

Want to be ready? Come to Ojai for the PELOTON Gravel MOB Recon Camp on October 13,14,15 and recon the course like a pro. You’ll get a chance to ride the entire course over two days, dial in gearing and tire selection, plus learn about the nutrition you’ll need to keep the legs fresh all day.

You’ll ride with editors from PELOTON, our partners from The Mob Shop and the 2015 Dirty Kanza 200 champ, Yuri Hauswald. We’ll all be there to share our local knowledge with you. The rides will be fully supported and challenging, but leave plenty of time for off the bike fun. You’ll get a chance to experience Ojai’s unique atmosphere and great food during your weekend with us.

What kind of bike do you need?
A ‘cross bike is minimum here. 40mm tires are a big help at the bottom of Sisar, where it’s steep and rocky. Low gears are your friend. But as nasty as a few sections are, a ‘cross or gravel bike is the fastest way to complete the route. Of course, if you are more comfortable on a hardtail mountain bike, that’s fine too.
