We normally go counter clockwise. Warm up, 1st x311 climb, not great surface on downhill through red rock (noodle stop), climb up lake, fast down back to car. 🙂

Another option is out and back but not including lake climb.

Riding Suggestions:

  • Nothing special.
  • 25 to 28 road tires suggested but ok with 23mm.
  • water as none on the hill.
  • careful on downhill bends – some (but not many) cars and rock fall.
  • possible landslides.
  • camera if nice day.
  • wind jacket or more if rain or outside of summer.
