Oljon + Steam Donkey to warm up, then a quick crossover to the other fire road, followed by a short climb, then a run down manzanita, turn the other way on the fire road and head downhill to Giant Salamander, then climb out of it on Methuselah. Next, come down fir trail, and climb back out, this time all the way until you get to Sierra Morena, and then enjoy an easy downhill/flat trail with a few bumps to get over. Great ride overall, In my opinion, here's the difficulty
Oljon - Green
Steam Donkey - Blue
Manzanita - Black
Giant Salamander - Blue
Fir Trail - Black
Sierra Morena - Green
It's not that bad of a ride, the fire roads aren't super steep or anything, their a little long but not too bad.
