Filthy 50 Recon Ride #3: The Donut Ride — 2026

About this event

Outdoor Fitness Coach and Quick n’ Dirty MTB close their three-part 2026 Filthy 50 reconnaissance series with the Donut Ride on Saturday, October 10 after moving it one day earlier because rain is forecast for Sunday. Coffee and donuts begin at 8:00 AM, riders roll at 8:30 AM, and the organizer event page keeps a five-hour window through 1:00 PM Pacific time. This is the final coach-led course preview before the October 31 Filthy 50 race: riders will travel the westbound portion of the course while working through race-day pacing, fueling and hydration, equipment checks, confidence, and strategy. The organizer describes the Donut Ride as a long-running Southern California tradition and expects a larger group with a wide range of abilities. Riders preparing for either the 30-mile or 50-mile Filthy 50 are welcome on mountain bikes or drop-bar bikes, with the instruction to ride their own pace rather than treat the recon as a scored race. The official Register control links to a public Outdoor Fitness Coach Club event on Strava; its logged-out page currently offers a working “Sign up to join” flow, but the event fee, deadline, capacity, waiver and minor/guardian rules are not published. The current Strava occurrence identifies the meet-up as Sikes Adobe and places it in the San Diego area; route details may require sign-in, so TrickBook retains the broader Escondido-area course venue and does not invent a street address. This is a regional Los Angeles-area event roughly 110 road miles from central Los Angeles at a specialized North County San Diego mountain-bike course.
