Club Ride

Our ride is relatively simple yet spectacular route! We'll traverse the iconic Sonora Pass to Bridgeport, then cruise down scenic Highway 395 to Big Pine, before ascending Highway 168 to Cedar Flat. This 260-mile ride is estimated to take approximately 5 hours (excluding breaks).

We plan to make stops in Sonora for a restroom break, Bridgeport for lunch and Bishop for any last-minute supplies. Expect to pull into camp around 4:00 PM, ready to unwind and soak in the mountain air.

Route sheets, GPX files and Rever links will be included in your registration confirmation.
