I use to do this ride back in the late 70's while at San Jose State to relax my mind from studies. Just started riding again and Whew, when I finished this ride.. Everything hurt... Even my eyelashes... No Cell service on bak side of Mountain in lots of places, Nice cool areas to get some speed - Not a lot of traffic on back side of Mt. Some tight spots /corners especially if you have some speed coming into them. Just pay attention to the road condition, some loose gravel in spots also. Guess none of this matters if you can do 100 miles you can handle this. Enjoy the views and Nature. Take plenty of liguids n food. Its a long way down the backside 40+ miles till you find water n food. Livermore is 50 miles away.

Fun trip. There used to be an organized ride that did this same loop - tough ride *with* full support. Some good photos!
