The 107 mile ride and 10,000+ feet of clilmbing is for those serious riders who did not get enough climbing on the Spooktacular. Starting at Yokuts Park, you soon leave the city behind and start the beautiful climb up Alta Sierra. You will reach the summit at about the half way point and start the dizzying descent into Glenville and back to Bakersfield. Be prepared with warm clothes and an attitude for this ride.
