The Shasta Gravel Hugger is a gravel bike race held each March in the Shasta Valley of Northern California. www.gravelhugger.com/
The race starts and finishes in the town of Montague. There is a 100 mile course and a 100km (62mile) course.
I have helped photograph and video the race every year since it began. Each route has breathtaking views of Mt. Shasta and consists of about 50/50 gravel and pavement. The fast pavement sectors connect the ten challenging gravel sectors, including the infamous "Jeep Road". The race is built like a spring classic with sectors of Northern California gravel in place of European cobblestones. This course stands out with its rolling wide open roads and two major climbs totaling 4,700 feet of climbing. Race to win or win by riding your first century.
