Follow Miwok trail up a couple of step climbs into round Valley then across valley. Pay $1.00 at a remote pay station to cross water shed property. Most of the climbing starts here, follow Miwok Trail into Morgan Territory. Then Manzinita to right on Valley View, right on Volvon. Volvon loops around to the south follow past Blue Oak to corner of Whipsnake and Blue Oak. Head left/north on Blue Oak to a right on Miwok dropping back to where you came in to Morgan Territory. Follow you tracks back to parking across the valley

Mostly typical east bay fire roads. The first mile or so isn't too bad, steep st times but shaded with a few small rock gardens that are beginner friendly. The actual valley portion can be rough from cattle damage and is completely devoid of shade. Right now there are stretches of the valley road that would require a child to walk their bike due to the damage.
Thank |Fantastic ride.... the climbs are pretty steep if you are into pain! Best enjoyed with a group of fellow bikers and bring plenty of water during the hot summer days. Best enjoyed early in the morning.
Thank |Average grade is 25%+ but you will gain over 1000 feet in less than a mile at one point, from 4 mile to 8 mile will be 2500+ foot of gain
