@lostandfoundbikeride is an epic gravel event in the Lost Sierra, thrown by the Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship each year.

The event should need no introduction for readers of The Radavist. Josh Becker (@mybucketsgottaholeinit) moved through the 100-mile course amid the drama of a previous year.

Mark your calendars, request your PTO and start thinking about tire choice now—the Lost and Found Gravel Festival returns to Portola on Saturday, June 19 in 2027. Keep an eye here for early registration later this year. More good times with good people in the mountains, all to support trails in the Lost Sierra. What could be better?! by @lostandfoundbikeride

Wow! Thank you to everyone who donated to this year's 5 Bucks a Foot Gravel Fundraiser! Together, we raised almost $26,000 for trail building and maintenance in the Lost Sierra. 5 Bucks a Foot fundraisers are a critical piece of our annual revenue, and we're so grateful for the support. We will call the winner this week (or notify via email if we can't reach you the old-fashioned way), so keep your phone close! Big thank you to our sponsors who supported this year's awesome custom build and full prize package: @evilbicycles, @shimanomtb, @ridefoxbike, @whiteind, @paulcomponent, @wildernesstrailbikes, @astralcycling, @camp.and.go.slow, @loam_equipment, @patagonia_mtb and @patagoniaprovisions—this year's campaign was successful due to their generosity and longtime support of the Stewardship. by @lostandfoundbikeride

Can’t think of a better way to kick off the summer than with a weekend of friends, camping and racing in one of my favorite places!

@lostandfoundbikeride truly knows now to put on a top notch event with wonderful, light-hearted community vibes.

Looking forward to more of these adventures soon! ☀️

And of course, big thanks to @nicophysic for replacing all the parts on my bike after Unbound in time for me to race 🙏 I get a lot of help from my friends to do this bike thing and am so thankful for it. taken in Portola, California by @lostandfoundbikeride

Lost and Found photos are in! Look for links to shots from the podium, course and festival in your email (sent this morning)—and be sure to also check out the awesome galleries from @seabrightphotography and @dnbphoto, which are also linked in the same email. You’ll also find the post-race survey, where you can pass along your thoughts on the weekend (we read all of these & often incorporate changes based on the feedback), and a link to limited race merch for sale via the @yubaexpeditions website if you missed grabbing it onsite. Thank you racers for an incredible weekend in the mountains—we’ll be doing it again in less than two months at the @downievilleclassic! See you there?? taken in Portola City Park by @lostandfoundbikeride

In the lost sierras.. at the Lost & Found gravel fest. Where we question why we live in the city when there’s miles of gravel roads and cutty mountain tracks here. Massive thanks to @sierratrails crew and volunteers for all the hard work bringing the @lostandfoundbikeride every year! Gallery’s are linked 👆in the bio taken in Portola, California by @lostandfoundbikeride

“If not now, when?” Cheers to that! Post-race interview with freshly bandaged @paysonmceleveen, who finished second in the men’s pro race on Saturday, rallying back after a multi-racer crash at the front of the pack. Congrats on a strong finish Payson, and thanks for supporting @sierratrails! taken in Portola City Park by @lostandfoundbikeride

The @sierratrails @lostandfoundbikeride, part of the @gravelearthseries, drew out 900+ participants over three distances to explore the #lostsierra.

This year's festival featured a new section of singletrack on the shores of Lake Davis, less climbing for the 100 mile distance than years past, no snow in sight, and great aid stations. But sadly it was missing mainstay @mctubbbin.

See views and pro results from the #lostandfound2026 event, with @ruby_ryan and @matthew.mtb taking the wins.
