One of the LONGEST Descents in California | Cannell Plunge | Kernville, Ca
Рет қаралды 11,209
Күн бұрынIn today's video I am riding in Kernville which is just Northeast of Bakersfield. This trail is one of the longest single track trails in all of California and can mainly be ridden during the summer. This trail is mainly shuttled by most and takes you up to an elevation of ~9,400. After some climbing and descending you will usually end up in the city of kernville at just about 2,400 ft (confirmed after making the thumbnail, pls don't attack me). This trail is about 25 miles in totality so I would consider it an all day adventure. I had over an hours worth of footage but have cut it down to only include the good parts.

I rode this trail many times back in the 1990s on a 26er hardtail with rim brakes. Seeing it again brought back many memories. It's a beautiful trail, well worth the trip.

Was the plumb line downhill 1987 in Bishop California. I won first place single-speed division the start was 11,000 feet plus elevation in descendants 7,000 ft in 7 MI and then 5 me of washboard and gravel flat. I rode with the Berkeley Trails Union... Out of Berkeley. We are legendary. The shirt I'm wearing in my profile picture here is the 1987 plumb line downhill that I won single-speed category in 5th place over the entire field. I rode in Oakland edition Boss 26 hardtail. Made by Carlo Luiga

Nice film. Curious when you shot this… logistically thinking about water crossings/availability during the summer months. 👍

I need to return to this trail on my emtb. There is quite a bit of climbing on this trail that will sap your energy quick. I was unprepared on snacks that's for sure! There is a spring near the big open meadow to refill water which in nice.
@Chris-505 Ай бұрын
Hah yeah, I think it’s doable on a normal bike but you do need a lot of snacks and electrolyte drinks to keep you hydrated. Yeah I’ve run into the spring water and heard it was really good and cold!

Chris, who did you book the shuttle ride to the top with? Any suggestions on prep reference water or food during the descend? Thank in advance
@Chris-505 Ай бұрын
@@omartish I shuttled with friends so I didn’t use a service but I believe sierra south does a shuttle service. For food I would definitely some snacks and then a lunch along with some electrolyte drinks (3-4) and a full hydro pack. Hope this helps!
