I just rode the route today, there's a new albeit unfinished Pondarosa Bridge and the second big climb is not covered by some gravel with a white talcum like powder mixed in. Thanks for sharing the route and all the great videos. I'd recommend riders hold off on trying a Pondarosa bridge crossing until they have it nearly complete; by the progress seen, I'm guessing completion later this year (2023).
Thanks for the update! It's a good reminder that everyone should check current conditions before following these guides.
I’m new to gravel biking and this has helped me a lot. Thanks!
Nice to see you doing some rides in Northern California now that COVID restrictions are easing … Yankee Jim’s is in my backyard, come back and ride Shirt tail Canyon > Sugar Pine Lake > Finning Mill loop off of Yankee Jim’s next time.
I'll check in with you next time I'm up!
Hi, live in Loomis … is the loop you suggest on Ride with GPS?
Some more California goodness!! Always enjoy your videos, thanks😊
Thanks much. More to come further up I-80!
@@GravelBikeCalifornia Sweet👍
Wow, fantastic route and video. I love the Sierras!
Such a gift on top of our coastline!
miner details. love it.
I could have ended the video there...
Great ride
Been meaning to ride that area for a long time.
Do this loop in the reverse direction of the video.
Might have been easier...
@@GravelBikeCalifornia Yeah, the climb out of Yankee Jim's as the last climb is great! Nice and mellow, compared to the other climbs...that climb out of Ponderosa is a bit pitchy in a couple of spots, putting it nicely. There's another option that uses Iowa Hill to the north, that is another great option. It was beautiful last weekend!
Jumping off Ponderosa bridge was a must if you lived around there. Many a Summer day started of with, " Dude, you wanna go to Pondo?"
