• Description: 138 Miles - 16,965' of Climbing (Mapped with a Garmin Edge 305 GPS)
  Just north of Los Angeles sits the Kern Plateau in the Sequoia National Forest. Rising like a primordial beast from the desert floor to 9,200', this area is home to some of the longest climbs Southern California has to offer.
  The ride starts at 5:30 am. Sunrise is around 6:30am. You can leave starting at 5:30am if you like, or any time after that up until 7:00am.
  Due to safety reasons (falling rocks in the road, etc., the cutoff time will be when the sun sets - around 7:30PM. That leaves a good solid 14 hours to complete the ride. We are reversing the route direction. The ride now STARTS at the junction of Rte 395 and Nine Mile Canyon Rd near the town of Ridgecrest. This means any hotel arrangements you made need to be changed. The nearest hotels will now be in the town of Ridgecrest.
  From Southern California: Take the 14 North to the 395 as if headed to Mammoth Lakes or Bishop. The Nine Mile Canyon Junction is past the turnoff for Ridgecrest. On Google Maps is is shown as being near Pearsonville & Linnie (see map).
