Fall Equinox Campout Sept. 20th-21st 2025
(Date subject to change if weather is too hot) 

The Fall Equinox campout is part of our quarterly campout series that will coincide with the seasons, particularly the solstices and equinoxes. Each campout will be in a different location and somewhere along or close to the Stagecoach 400 route. 

If you're new to bike packing or very experienced, we have options for almost everyone. 

This years Fall Equinox Campout will be starting from the shop and riding to the Sweetwater Summit Campground.
Campsites #57 and #58

We will leave from the shop after closing that Saturday at 3pm and should get to camp around 5/5:30pm with enough light to set up camp.

When we get to camp you can unload your bike and set up tents etc... Once everyone is settled there will be optional loops for those needing some more miles. Be sure to bring lights too.
The Sweetwater bike park is also right next to the campground so it could be fun to go ride some laps there or just relax in camp. Something for everyone!

The next morning will be a causal roll out on an alternative route back to the shop. This route will be slightly longer and end with a possible ferry ride across the bay from Coronado to Downtown.

Since this campout is in town there are lots of ways to get back to the shop. In past years we even had people join only for the evening and then ride back home that night, it's about 20 very mellow mostly paved miles.  

The ride is completely self supported, so come prepared. Have a backup plan/support car/exit strategy/etc... if you're questioning if you can make it or not. Make sure you know your limits and abilities. We want everyone to have fun!

Food and drink: There is water, electricity, restrooms, and coin showers at the campground. We will bring some snacks and drinks to share but you are responsible for bringing your dinner and breakfast.  There will be some places to stop for food/drinks on the way down. The closest stores/restaurants are across the street from the golf course.

Shuttling gear: We will have one vehicle driving so if you want us to shuttle any gear or food you're welcome to drop it by the shop BEFORE that Saturday.
***NOTE: there will not be a support vehicle driving down that afternoon so all shuttle gear must be dropped off before closing that Friday***

Any questions please don't hesitate to ask!

***Spots are limited so please RSVP so we can have a proper headcount. Worst case we might need to grab another campsite***
