“The Pine Nut Mountains are a rugged mountain range located to the east of Carson City, Nevada. Characterized by their distinct granite peaks, juniper woodlands, and sagebrush-covered foothills, this range stretches approximately 40 miles in length and varies in elevation, with its tallest point being Mount Siegel at over 9,400 feet. The region is not only prized for its picturesque landscapes but also its rich biodiversity. The mountains serve as a habitat for diverse wildlife including wild horses, mule deer, and various bird species. Historically used by the Washoe people for its abundant resources, the Pine Nut Mountains remain a significant landmark in Nevada, drawing outdoor enthusiasts for hiking, hunting, and camping. Stetina’s Paydirt explores this rugged landscape.” – Stetina’s Paydirt
“Three timed segments. Two beautiful and challenging courses. And one mechanical bull! Stetina’s Paydirt in Carson City, Nevada is a gravel race like no other.” – Long Course has three segments, Medium Course has two segments.

In this video, JOM of Gravel Cyclist rides the Medium length edition of Stetina’s Paydirt for 2024, starting and ending in beautiful Carson City, Nevada. Not a pity party, JOM hit the deck two weeks before the event, suffering a collarbone injury (thankfully not fractured), two fractured ribs, and injuries related to his back.
