San Joaquin River Trail to Mammoth

Long rides are IT. Mountain bikes aren't made for 2 mile loops at China Camp. Lets go ride a hundred miles of dirt!

This season many new big competive rides broke new ground. The British Columbia Traverse, 5 days, two person teams. Or the Continental Divide Race. One thousand miles, unsupported. Natch!

Todd and Cullen rode the Ouray to Moab Hut to Hut this summer, 300 miles and 6 days of fun.

My favorite ride in a while was Resurrection Pass, 44 miles of Alaskan wildness.

So let us brainstorm some long dirt rides, shall we.

How about a little spin from Fresno, up the foothills, following the San Joaquin River. Cross the two major crests of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, cross the John Muir Trail and bomb down into scenic Mammoth Lakes California, on the lovely East Side.

And how about being some of the first riders to spin the new bridges and trail?

Makes my mouth water, how about yours?
