Having problems with message search?
I have done both options out from Cedar Creek to pavement...
Taking the Rincon out is much faster and less technical. It has some big hills which I hiked but might be rideable.
The connector trail dropping down to the 4 mile trail is awesome. Its narrow single track with major consequences if you go off. Pretty memorable.
The 4 mile trail itself is very technical. Lots of sand and rocks which all seem to be facing the wrong way.
4 mile is much more scenic than the Rincon which is in the moonscape from the McNally fire at that point.
I have also ridden the Rincon from Brush Creek up to the packsaddle trail. It was in very poor condition. There were tons of down trees by the bottom. It goes strait up the a side drainage. I hiked most of it. Strong climbers might have had a different experience. I have not been on the Rincon past packsaddle cave...

I plan on doing an overnighter starting at Sherman Pass. The plan is to head up to Sherman Peak then down to Cedar Canyon and then, either hit the River Trail, out at the bridge, a few miles on the hwy down to Fairview and then Whiskey Flat to Kernville or take the Rincon Trail from Cedar Canyon all the way down to Ant Canyon. Question: are the Rincon Trail conditions friendly to mtn. bikes? Sand? Hikeabike? I saw that Sierrasojouner did the first part of the ride down to the bridge. And how technical is the 4 miles of the River Trail? thanks.
