Lone Rock Valley-Antelope Lake-Beardsley Grade Loop

Gravel Route
On , Taylorsville, California
A long, steady climb up to Lone Rock Valley, followed by a short descent to Antelope Lake. Some rollers around the lake and a gradual descent on a fun granite road to Babcock Xing. A steeper climb up Hungry Creek and a steep, rough, fast descent down Beardsley Grade. The ride could be shortened by about 5 miles, and made much easier, by continuing down the paved Antelope Lake Rd from Babcock Xing, and eliminating the Hungry Creel climb.
8 overlapping segments.

Much of this route, below Antelope Lake and up the Hungry Creek climb, burned in the Walker Fire in Sept of 2019. It may take a few years to come back from the devastation.
