The Megahopper – Ted King is riding 415 miles through California

The Grasshopper Adventure Series are a staple in northern California’s cycling scene. Beautiful mixed terrain events snaking all over Sonoma County. The Megahopper is an amalgamation of nine Grasshoppers in one truly epic ride covering 415 miles and more than 43,000 feet of elevation gain. With the goal of an OKT (only known time) to help introduce this route to the public, Ted King set out with his Cannondale SuperSix EVO SE to see how quickly he could cover the route.
