The route starts in downtown Redding (Bike Depot or other) before hitting the paved Sacramento River Trail and Middle Creek Trails all the way to Old Shasta. From there it is paved and gravel Mule Town Road and more all the way to the edge of Whiskeytown Lake. Enjoy views of Whiskeytown, maybe stop at the visitor center to fuel up before the awesome climb to the top of South Fork Mountain. Take time to enjoy the amazing 360 degree views before heading back down, past Whiskeytown and all the way back to Mule Town Road. Finish with a gravel/paved Mule Town Road followed by paved Placer Road all the way back to town with some City streets back to your start.
