Join us for America's 4th-Hardest, Cow-Themed Gravel Ride... in a California Wine Region... That's Not Called Napa or Sonoma.

The Bovine Classic isn't just another gravel event -- it's a celebration where serious cycling meets unserious fun in the stunning Paso Robles wine country. With three routes catering to different adventure levels (The Big Bovine, The Feisty, and The Happy Bovine), you'll experience a perfect mix of dusty backroads and buttery smooth tarmac.

Recently named one of Bicycling Magazine's top-10 "Must-Ride Gravel Races for 2025," the Bovine Classic combines world-class riding with radical hospitality. Expect fully supported routes, creative aid stations, local wines, craft beers, and a festival atmosphere that'll have you planning your return before you've finished your post-ride celebration.
