Yosemite Valley to Berry Creek, CA

One of the best trips I have been on.  Yosemite Valley is -- as always -- spectacular, and the climb out of the valley is a good first-day work-out.  (Use caution, as the road up out of the valley is narrow with no shoulder to speak of).  The ride down Tioga Pass was unbelievable!  I have never attained such speeds since!  But once you hit the desert floor (at Hwy395), make certain to always carry a good supply of water.  The journey down the Feather River (Hwy70) needs to be taken as early in the morning as possible -- preferably, one should start out before dawn.  If much later, then you will face very strong head winds the entire trip down the canyon.  It is very disheartening to have to peddle as hard as you can just to maintain an average speed of 6mph downhill!
