I love the emerging races. I haven't found any in NorCal. Anyone know of any?

Looks fun. There's a gravel series around here, but they ramp up the distance faster than I can get ready. Right now I could probably handle the 60 miler they had in March. I wasn't ready for the 127-mile Oregon Stampede on June 1.
Meanwhile, the friend who recommended this series to me is currently 527 miles into the Tour Divide.
