Ride Report and Photos: San Benito, Clear Creek, and Idria, May 2006

Saturday May 27, 2006

Ron Bobb and I started near the store in Paicines, CA and rode a loop
that went south on CA25 past Pinnacles National Monument, detoured
through the San Benito Valley on Old Hernandez Rd., rode Coalinga Rd.
over the hill to Hernandez Reservoir to the Clear Creek Management Area,
used primarily as an off-road vehicle recreation area. We rode Clear
Creek Rd. up to Clear Creek Summit and then descended the steep and
dramatic road down past the site of the New Idria mine. We returned to
Paicines via New Idria and Panoche Rds, stopping for a small meal at the
Panoche Inn before arriving back in Paicines.
