We’re pleased to introduce you to Grizzly Cycles
Our Swift Campout this year promises an exciting adventure through the stunning mountains north of Bass Lake, CA, covering approximately 90 miles with around 8,000 feet of elevation gain. This marks our fourth year undertaking this challenging route, and it continues to be a rewarding experience for all participants. We’ll be dispersed camping along the way, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the natural beauty of the area. The route offers a balanced mix of roughly 50% dirt and 50% pavement, providing a diverse riding experience that tests both endurance and versatility. We’re looking forward to another memorable trip filled with adventure, camaraderie, and the breathtaking scenery of the Sierra Nevada.
