DAY 1 : Bass Lake To Shaver
:2 Route Options:
Short 70mi 10k | Long 104mi 15k
ROUTE: An easy start from the Pines resort, mostly downhill to the Stevenson Waterfall. Along a closed road to traffic thats breathtaking. Then the HARD PART... LOTS OF CLIMBING. The short route will take us around Huntington lake, the long route will take us into the pages of The Lord Of The Rings. Both routes end with an insane 30min no brakes descent.
Dinner will be waiting for us at a Cabin in Shaver Lake CA.

:2 Route Options:
Short 65mi 9k | Long 102mi 11k
ROUTE: 2 route options. Short will backtrack us down the mountain, across a river, and up 2 EPIC climbs. This route finishes with the best descent in the world...IMO.
The Long Route will take us out to the Giant Sequoias, the last place on earth where you can touch the giant Trees. Then we head back to Bass ending with 2 big ass climbs and a spin around the lake.
Dinner will be at the Pines Resort.
Dinner will be waiting for us at a Cabin in Shaver Lake CA.
Day 3 Bass Lake Vibes
Day 3 will have us sleep in, drink coffee, and head out for a 2-4 hour ride in the mountains of Bass Lake. We will feel out how the legs are feeling and gauge the route but the plan will be a gravel climb with a road descent.

ROUTES
Each day has a short or long version. The short is WTF hard, the Long is life alternatingly difficult. There is NO EASY RIDING out here, its mostly steep climbs and wild descents AT ELEVATION.
We will have to make a cut off time to ensure we dont get stuck in the dark, but as long as you can climb nonstop for 2+ hours at a time, we should be able to complete the long routes in under 8 hours.
SAG SUPPORT
We will have a photographer/follow van for both days just incase the body/mind/bike decide its been enough. Our follow van will have water and food and a spare bike just incase the shit hits the fan.
MECHANICAL SUPPLIES
Tubes, tires, and tools will all be on hand for repairs. If your bike has an issue that cant be fixed, a spare bike will be loaned.
BIKE/GEAR SETUP
Tubeless tires and climbing gears are highly recommend. A hyrdo pack is mandatory, I have ones you can borrow if you dont have one.
PHOTOS/CONTENT
Professional photos and light video will be provided so you can relive your experience for years to come.
WEATHER/PLAN B
Weather is unpredictable, so IF for some reason we can't do these routes, I have a PLAN B which is a short drive to central coast where lodging and epic rides will still happen.
REFUNDS/PAYMENT
50% of total due by Oct 20, 50% due by Oct 30.
