i've done this ride, well, separate tips. we went from yerington to walker river resort. then another trip, hawthorne travelodge motel to mt patterson. have to ride on hwy for a bit, but its nevada side, not a big deal. bodie ghost town is almost along the way too
So can any one tell me a little about this ride. How many miles/hours? moderate/difficult?
This could be somewhat of a 4 seasons ride. It can be hot and dusty on the Nevada side in spots to several cool water crossings up rocky creeks with a 5 or 6k elevation climb to 11k ft. The weather can change and not uncommon for a thunder shower. Hopefully I timed it right and the snow level has dropped where we can clear the summit. Treking over the summit with snow can be a challenge as its above the tree line and there is not much to winch off of. If the trails are all clear it is easy driving with a few technical spots. The pace will be some what moderate due to the near 100 miles planed on Saturday. The Thursday, Friday runs will be hitting the area trails, mines and attractions . In the past we did this ride out of Bridgeport but moved for a larger campground and the intuition that we won't be having the snow pack we had last year. You can get an idea of it by viewing some of the pictures and drone video from that ride.
