Ride Details
2 Day Hopper Adventure Weekend from Mill District, Healdsburg CA.(50 rider max.)
Covid-19 and the Hoppers:
(3/12/21) Update! We have remained optimistic that with Sonoma County moving into Red Tier we would be able to bring you an in person event. But, this is not possible for 2021.
However, we will be holding a “Geysers/Pine Flat Hopper Challenge” from April 23-May2 and also a 2 Day Ride Extravaganza weekend for 50 people.
2 Day Hopper Adventure May 1-2:
Wishing you could join a Hopper with all your closest friends? We do too. While we still can’t organize mass-start Hoppers, we’d like to invite you to a full Hopper weekend experience in Healdsburg, May 1-2.
We wanted to do something special, because while segment racing can be fun, there’s no substitute to riding and hanging with your bike family!
Instead of a one day race for Geysers and Pine Flat on May 1, we’ll be hosting a small group for a full weekend of food with world famous chef Matt Accarrino at Healdsburg’s Mill District and the best west county rides you can dream up. (50 rider limit)
We ask that riders sign up in groups of 4-6 who will be your “pods” for the weekend.
Hopper Adventures will adhere to and follow all required COVID-19 State and County health guidelines from the California Department of Public Health. This includes all stated and required safety protocols which include social distancing and wearing masks. We take the health and well-being of our participants seriously, and will take every measure necessary to ensure that our weekend experience is safe for everyone.
Registration is $420. (Registration does not include lodging but we can help with recommendations)

Geysers/Pine Flat
Option #1:Geyser/Pine Flat
Option #2: Geysers
Course and Bike/Tire Recommendations:
A true “Hopper Adventure”…like all our events. We’ve always had a classic all pavé route in the Hopper series. Remember, to be the champion of the G.A.S. you must “shred on every sled”. If you have a road bike, ride it. I’d recommend 28+tires. There are a couple gravel sections on Geysers but for the most part it’s all all pavé.
Sunday’s ride, Old Caz and be done on a road bike with 28+ tires but is more fun on a gravel/adventure bike. Old Caz is optional on Sunday.
