While California has variety of landscapes of our own, Huffmaster adds yet another niche to our diverse palette. Sitting on the edge of the Sacramento Valley up against the eastern edge of the Coastal Range, this 89 mile loop covers a decent subset of Colusa county.

Hoping this was a third time’s a charm for me, I was hoping for some mastery for Rock Cobbler 11. While the course changes every year, I have been developing a sense of the riding even though the routes extend over 80 miles. Still, there was something different going into this edition as California has

The question you have to ask yourself biking the Lost Coast is how many days do you want to put in? Even if you’re credit card camping like I did, clearly it’s a multiple day journey but with limits how you can break it down. Day two fit that description with the longest stretch of
