Hi all-

Carpool leaves One Mile at 6:45am Sunday morning.
We drive the 50 miles to the town of Feather Falls,
1 mile past the Feather Falls Trail Head entrance.
Park on the left side. No support/stores.

Take Olive Hwy/Hwy 162 east from Oroville.
Turn right on Forbestown Rd. - for 6 miles.
Turn left on Lumpkin Rd. - at 12 miles, park.

The ride leaves FF at 8:00am. The Black Rock
Campground at the west end of the LGVR is the
destination. Bring swim gear!

Ride east from Feather Falls on Lumpkin Rd.
for 1/2 mile, turn right and follow Mill Rd.
for about 7 miles to the intersection.


Take one of two options:

The 60-miler - 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 it "Ts" into Lumpkin Porte Rd. and you
turn left and head down the hill for about 2 miles
to the LGVR.

The 44-miler - out-back - turns right onto 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-miler will "T" into
this road from the left - you continue straight and
head down the hill for about 2 miles towards the LGVR.

You all ride down the hill through the switch-backs.
At the "intersection," about 2 miles down towards
the lake, head towards the right, 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 at any time.

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

Both ride options include a significant amount of
climbing on the way out. Everybody comes back the
way the 44-milers came out - it is mainly downhill.
The roads we ride on are the only paved roads there.
