Adverse Selection
Folks who ride with me know I love me some Marshall-Petaluma, but it's not remotely in the same league of challenging roads as something like King Ridge, or Forks of Salmon, or Sweetwater Springs. For that matter, neither is Del Puerto Canyon. Hell, those roads have centerlines! :laughing

It's all about pace, right?
Besides, if the list has 36 and 299 and Mt. Ham and others...and, seriously, Wards Ferry? Skip that and do Kelly Grade/Marshes Flat. :x
Let's go ride some time. :teeth

Marshes flat is fun.
No time to list them out. But next year join my Auburn Ride.
Marshes flat has nothing on SR23.

Mt. Hammy to the top and back is work. A lot of work.

Hell is can be work all the way to the Junction except the last 7 miles or so.
I do love to ride it. You gotta stay sharp if you are going at a sporting pace.

Some great roads listed in this thread. Been on quite a few of them too.
I was surprised to not see Mt Charlies or Zayante Rd. listed as local challenges.
Up north, off of Hwy 36 you will find Platina Road. Connects Platina to Igo.
Also Iron Canyon Road (37N34) which dumps out at McCloud Lake. Basically a connector between 299 and 89.

Just don't like the bike run wide on the exit, and you'll be fine It's more of a point-and-shoot corner.
artyA few years ago Mortifer and I were standing around with some other guys, and the topic of goat roads came up. One of the guys brought up Mt. Ham. Mike and I made eye contact, and turned toward the guy and said, "It has a center line." :nchantr :hand
:laughing
Platina road is pretty fun. I only rode it once, but it's a nice diversion.

It doesn't get any better than Iowa Hill out of Colfax or FR23 out of Georgetown.
Maps of both these here.

Mom, Sister and Brother live in Anderson.
After a moto visit I will use Platina Rd. to get to 36 and go westbound.
Then Alderpoint Rd. to continue North from there.
I rode Hwy 36 many many times before ever trying the Red Bluff to Platina portion. :laughing
I've also ridden a fair share of the logging roads off of Hwy 3. Good stuff. But quite hot in the summer months.

Terrible roads. Just terrible. Pine needles, cows, lumps and potholes. Terrible. Stay away.

I heard that there was algae and slime in the shady spots, not to mention deer and antelope roaming.
Don't think I'd ride those roads.
