Epic Flats of the Greater Bay Area Challenge

Are you ready to take your cycling game to the next level? Join us in the ultimate challenge of conquering the Epic Flats. This is your chance to test your mettle on a variety of flat terrains, from heart-pumping, ultra-fast sprints to long, sustained rides that will push your limits.

The Lowdown:

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to tackle the Epic Flats on our list. These flats span the Greater Bay Area, taking you from the scenic San Francisco Bay Trail to the major flats of Marin and the North Bay, and even as far as Sonoma, Santa Cruz, and Central Valley.

Challenge Duration:

This epic adventure runs from 2024-01-01 to 2024-12-31. That's plenty of time to experience these flats in all four seasons and at your own pace. How many can you check off your list?

Earn Your Epic Flats Jersey:

Cyclists who complete 25 flats and 200 miles (approximately 320km) will earn the right to purchase and proudly wear a special Epic Flats jersey.

Exploration and Camaraderie:

This challenge is all about freedom and flexibility. You can take on these flats individually or mix and match as you see fit. Whether you prefer solo expeditions or cycling with your friends, the choice is yours. Plus, keep an eye out for announcements in the GPC club for group rides.

To join the challenge, connect your Strava account in the top right corner of the page. The list and the map of flats are available at Flats. You can also check out the leaderboard at Athletes to see how you stack up against other cyclists.
