The carpool leaves from One Mile at 6:30am Sunday morning. We drive
the 50 miles to the town of Feather Falls, 1 mile past the Feather
Falls Trail entrance, and park on the left side.
Take Olive Hwy/Hwy 162 east from Oroville, turn right onto Forbestown
Rd. - go about 6 miles, turn left on Lumpkin Rd. - go about 12 miles
and park.

The bike ride will leave at about 8:00am. Black Rock Campground at the
LGVR is the destination. Bring your swim gear!

1) Ride east from Feather Falls, on Lumpkin Rd., for 1/2 mile, turn
right and follow the road, Mill Rd, for about 6 miles (a clearing)
where a paved side road (Lumpkin Ridge RD.) is coming in from the
right. Now, take one of two options:

2a) the 60-milers continue straight (don't turn right onto Lumpkin
Ridge Rd.) and follow that road for another 29 miles (the only paved
road.) At the end of the road it "Ts" into Lumpkin Porte Rd. and you
turn left and head down the hill for about 2 miles towards the LGVR.

2b) the 40-milers turns right, Lumpkin Ridge Rd., paved, and follow it
as it rolls upwards for the next 17 miles (it becomes Lumpkin Porte Rd
halfway up.) At the "top" the 60-milers will "T" into this road from
the left -- and you all will head down the hill for about 2 miles
towards the LGVR.

3) Through the switch-backs and at the "intersection," about 2 miles
down towards the lake, head towards the right and then very shortly,
towards the bottom of that hill, turn left into the Black Rock
Campground -- and jump in the lake. If you reach the Dam it is too far
-- and don't head leftwards clockwise around the lake.

No service along the way, so bring food, water, etc. There is water at
the lake where we will stop and swim at the boat lunch.

The 40 and 60 miles round-trip options both include a significant
amount of climbing on the way out. We all ride the 40-miler out-leg on
the way back which is mainly downhill. The roads we ride on are
paved--the only paved roads out there.
