you guys didn't just ride LA1/2 did ya? I usually make a 50-60 mile off loop, some of the groups get barn sour and run back to base on LA1/2. Then we rip another 60 miles back a complete different route.
Start hard JB to Nightmare Gultch
NM thru Last Chance
LC around Bickle to Mesquite Cyn
Mesquite Cyn around thru Inyo up to Indian Wells (get gas at bradys if needed)
IW up to mine
Down mine to LA1/2 just long enough to get cross the 178 to Roobers Roost
RB zig-zig the entire valley to SC65
SC65 zig-zag thru Bird spring, down SC103
back to JB
roughly like this (purple alternate lines)
