Welcome to the Lost Coast’s first cycling event, the Usal Hopper! https://grasshopperadventureseries.com/rides/usal-hopper-lost-coast/

Until now, the remoteness of the area has made it impossible to host a cycling event. Through partnership with the Redwood Forest Foundation, Inc.(RFFI) and Usal Redwoods, Hopper Adventures has been given the unique opportunity to ride on state, county and private RFFI/Usal land.

The ride takes place on 50,000 acres between the Eel River and the Pacific Ocean. Hoppers have always been about adventure and exploration while striving to connect to and create community within the cycling community of northern California.

Choose from three different loops:

El Mero-Mero:  60 mi. 8,500 ft
El Mediano: 43 mi. 6,900 ft.
El Chiquito: 32 mi. 4,100 ft.

Saturday a.m. ride, followed by lunch, podium, presentation by RFFI/Usal staff and local historians, and an evening of campfire, cold beer and time to relax. Stay through Sunday morning for an optional hike in the Usal Creek watershed with RFFI foresters to learn about the history of the area and efforts being made to conserve and protect the north coast redwoods.
