Bucky Rides has a very complete and detailed description of the route.
A good early season ride as the elevation never gets above 2500 feet.
This route contains more road than gravel and has a bit of traffic on certain segments, but the views are big and worthwhile. The ride is exposed to both sun and wind. In Summer months this route is doable on a road bike with 28c tyres. Throughout Winter / rainy season it’s best on a gravel/cyclocross bike running 35mm + tires or hardtail mtb.

We strongly suggest a red blinky light for this ride due to the amount of on road pavement.
