2024 Tour De Los Padres: A Tour to Remember
Words and photos by Drew Raney, additional photos by other participants. The 11th annual Tour De Los Padres (TDLP) took place on April 19th, 2024. With road damage unfortunately canceling the longer “proper” route, riders made their way to Frazier Park, California, for the grand depart. Frazier Park sits only minutes away from the busy I-5 freeway separating the Central Valley and Los Angeles. Around 30 riders were present at the start. This ride happens each year due to the efforts of many individuals on our “TDLP Collective,” spearheaded by route creator Erin Caroll. While the event has historically been free, riders are encouraged to fundraise for a cause of their choice or consider donating to the Los Padres Forest Association and the “Get it Done Trail Crew” based out of Ojai. Many of the trails included in this year’s route were made possible through the efforts of the Get it Done Crew.
