Embark on a classic mixed-terrain adventure through the secluded landscapes of Northern California at Huffmaster on February 28, 2026, a cornerstone event of the legendary Grasshopper Adventure Series. Starting in Maxwell, this ride offers two unforgettable routes—a 90-mile long course and a 55-mile "Mini"—both weaving a thrilling tapestry of rolling gravel roads and quiet tarmac through ranch lands and the Mendocino National Forest foothills. The course features signature Grasshopper challenges, including a punchy gravel climb, a fast and technical descent, and the iconic traverse of Huffmaster Road itself, all with less total climbing than typical series events, making it a uniquely rewarding test.
More than just a ride, Huffmaster carries a powerful purpose, with a portion of each registration supporting the Adventure Therapy Foundation to help families impacted by cancer. The day culminates in a festive afterparty with a fundraising raffle for fantastic prizes. Secure your spot in this beloved season-opener that perfectly blends grueling backcountry exploration, tight-knit cycling community, and meaningful charitable impact.
