M 4/5 45 miles, 50 miles or 73 miles
Come and join us to ride in the Sierra. There are three options, starting from the same location at the same time. Option 1 is an out and back ride to the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir. Option 2 & 3 are extensions of option 1 with longer distances and more elevation gains. All three rides will have a lunch stop at Evergreen Lodge at Yosemite (at mile 31) where restrooms are available and food and beverages can be purchased.
Driving directions: 2 hours and 15 minutes from the 580/680 intersection to the start point. See the Google Map link below.
