Monsoon green is our new fav seasonal color. The SRV is wearing it so well! ⛈️✌️⚡️

Some wet patches across the Valley, but roads are riding super well this summer. 4 years full time in Patagonia, and the multi dimensional landscape continues to amaze us.

Thank you Mother Nature for making this place so freakin gorgeous.

Monsoon Magic update! ⛈️ 🪄 ⚡️🌹

The greater Patagonia region is receiving daily storm cycles right now, which is fantastic. About 85-90% of our annual rain fall happens between July & early September.

Storms have been building late morning, and hitting our area mid afternoon and into the evenings. Road quality has been outstanding due to the timing in between storms, where moisture is falling and allowing time for our dirt roads to firm up a bit & be ready to ride on. We’ve got hero dirt conditions at the moment!

Temps are ranging between highs in the mid 80’s to mid 90’s, depending on humidity levels based on traveling storm cells. The high desert is an incredible summer destination, we are often 15-20 degrees cooler than most city centers across the west. Rad!

Summer storms do bring quite a bit of lightening, be smart and travel appropriately. Keep an eye out for flash flooding through creeks and washes. Most importantly, enjoy the Sky Islands during summer, it’s absolutely magical. ✌️🍻

From the historic mining town of Alto, AZ is a 30 mile out and back through Salero Canyon. It’s beautiful! It’s also dotted with private ranch lands, so stick to the main road & respect private property. You might see the crew out on Horseback too.

Full route available in Patagonia’s ✌️

It’s a rad day at Patagonia Gravel, especially if there’s afternoon rain in the forecast & lunch back at the house. 🌹✌️⚡️

Sometimes trips are so incredible, you notice the entire environment around you take a deep breath. Mendo Gravel is at the confluence of ocean & mountains. So much energy converging in one place, it’s no wonder our minds, bodies, and souls can find the room to relax amongst the landscape.

It’s become apparent to us that we are not a training camp, we don’t sight see or schedule extracurricular activities; we arrive in a place & we live there for 5 days. It’s a beautiful thing & the experience and emotion that is derived from these moments change each and everyone of us who choose to attend.

We can still feel the burn from climbing Thompson Gulch, taste the steak from night 2, and feel the salt on our face from that freezing cold ocean dip. That is RIDEBIKESEATFOOD. A tangible moment in our lives we will never forget.

Thank you Mendo! We love you.

10 days in Mendo, and 4 nights with incredible people 🍷⚡️🌹

Mendocino Gravel is a must experience, but that’s our personal opinion. Huge thanks to the staff at the Jackson Demonstration State Forest for allowing us to explore. It’s an honor! 🌳 The Forest and it’s Redwoods are in spectacular shape.

We met the coolest bakers this year, working alongside for bagels and table loaves. If you’re in the area, make an order. 🥯 Very fine sourdough.

delivered incredible Pacific Halibut & smoked salmon. Hot damn! The best. Thank you, Heather & the crew.

always provides the most amazing list of California produce. It’s unreal! on those otherworldly micros and edible flowers. Mind blown, again!

The weather gods were on our side this season. Thank you to our guests, new and returning, we can’t do this without you. It’s always a BLAST. 🍻✌️

2025 dates coming shortly. Grateful!

Rode Duquesne Pass Rd this morning, to scout any damage yesterdays monsoons might have made. Roads through the Patagonia Mountains are in incredible shape right now, just the right amount of moisture to firm things up and cut the dust.

If you ride between 8AM-1PM, and know where to go during the warmer months, Patagonia is an amazing riding destination year round. Especially during monsoons! The humidity rises a bit, it rains, and then it’s 70 degrees for the rest of the afternoon/evening. Primo!

Check out seasonal rates - we’ll see ya for a cold one! 🍻

It is with HUGE pride we announce that Noe Mencias is the new owner of PATAGONIA BIKES!!

From the shack in the back to its new location right on McKeown Avenue, downtown Patagonia; Noe is a massive part of the growth of outdoor recreational tourism in the Sky Islands region of Southern Arizona & ‘East County’ Santa Cruz. ✌️

If you’ve traveled the country for cycling, even the world, then you understand the significance of a bike shop located on ‘main street.’ For Patagonia, this is a message that bike related tourism is a strong part of our developing downtown sector. Thank you all who’ve chosen to travel here, join rides, spent your hard earned dollars downtown, and continue to come back. It’s UNBELIEVABLE!

Noe is lead mechanic for The Cyclists Menu, and following our upcoming Mendocino Gravel Trip, he will be back & working towards opening his doors in the new shop. Stay tuned for new merch, great service, and good vibrations. 🌹⚡️🍻

Our list of food producers for Mendocino Gravel is outstanding, it’s an honor to work with these creative humans and share they’re stories across the table.

The State of California has withheld commercial salmon permits for the past 2 seasons. However, we’re lucky to work with the all female crew for what’s coming out of the ocean seasonally. Incredible seafood!

Rounding out our providers list includes: - among others!

NorCal here we come!

A few things come to mind as the crew wraps up Mallorca Road 2024: this islands lifestyle is all about disconnecting and focusing on the moments in front of you, our small outfitting/guiding company has some of the best clients in the world & no matter the particular challenges that may arise; we humans have far more fun together in a shared environment.

Mallorca holds a massive place in our hearts. ✨

Our 10th anniversary tour brings us to some of our favorite locations. As always, there’s our Arizona Gravel season, currently exploring the beauty of the San Rafael Valley. During May, we head to Mallorca, July in Mendocino, August in Iceland & back home to Patagonia for the Fall foliage 🍁 🌵

8 shows, each unique to themselves. No ride is ever the same, and no meal is truly re-created, only a raw version of the meats, produce, and grains our farmers provide.

Teeth to the wind! ⚡️🌹✌️✨🍻
