For those of you looking at the percentages of paved surface on our route files trust us, they’re wrong! No good way to change them so before you go doing something stupid like putting on road tires or couch surfing come ride the Greenhills!

Behind every bad decision is a great support crew! 🍻🚲 🤠
Rock Cobbler 13.0 wouldn’t be possible (or survivable) without the legendary partners backing us this year. From the caffeine that starts the day to the cold ones that end it, these brands are the backbone of the madness.
The Performance Gear: Massive thanks to BMC, Shimano, Eliel, and Pedal Industries for keeping us rolling.
The Fuel & Recovery: Shout out to GU, Fluid, Pickle Juice, Covenant Coffee, and 805 for keeping the engines running.
The Local Legends: Huge gratitude to Motor City Buick GMC, Action Sports, Chain Cohn Clark, Sign Solutions, Ames Works, and Bako-Fornia.
Show these guys some love—they’re the ones who believe in the Bakersfield grit as much as we do! 🤘❤️ 🙌

The “Weapon of Choice”
Big thanks to BMC Bicycles for keeping the madness moving! 🚲🔥
The Rock Cobbler is “stupidly hard,” so you need a bike that’s smarter than your quads. 🦵
We are proud to have BMC as a partner for our 13th edition—they build the kind of precision machines that thrive on Bakersfield’s “absolute fun” terrain.
If you’re looking for your next gravel weapon, look no further than BMC. They’re built for the grit, the glory, and everything in between.
👉 Check them out and see why they’re the choice of the Cobbler.

70 degrees of pure sunshine... and an “absolute fun” day on the bike. ☀️✨ Don’t let that Bakersfield Gold weather fool you; the course is still going to be hard. It’s the perfect weekend for some world-class suffering.
⚠️ FINAL CALL: Registration slams shut this Wednesday at Midnight! Don’t be the one watching the stories from your couch.

That face you make when “tapering” is just a fancy word for “I didn’t train enough.” 😳🚴♂️
We are officially 2 WEEKS OUT from BMC - Rock Cobbler #13! That’s 14 days to find your grit, find your gear, and accept your fate in the Bakersfield hills.
Pro-tip for the next 14 days:
Listen to the Sam Ames x Dave Towle podcast on The American Cycling Report for some last-minute “mental fitness.” 🎧
Pre-order your Rowdy Trails finisher award so you have proof of your survival. 🖼️
Pray for your quads.
See you at the start line! 🏁
