With all events cancelled last year, Lorenzo and I decided to retake the route of the legendary Grasshopper gravel race on our own. Amazing day out, even if quite eventful: a torn tire, two extra flats, a loose SPD clip, and my watch flying out of my wrist at the worst time.

Day ride to Tioga. Tioga pass is the highest highway pass in California and in the Sierra Nevada. The pass is closed every winter because of high snow. For the first weekend of re-opening, the pass is open to only bikes!

A ride from Paris to Brest, and back. In 90 hours.

Part 1: Rambouillet to Fougères

Part 2: Villaines-la-Juhel to Carhaix

Part 3: Carhaix to Brest, and then to Loudeac

Part 4: Loudeac to Rambouillet
