The ACF Tour will explore a majority of the bikeable single track in the forest. How you ride them is up to you but you must ride these trails: Peanut Butter, #4 (Big Rock), #15 (Powerline), Lollipop Loop, all of trail #13-13.5, #6, #19 (Spruce City), #10 (Vista), Lower Janes Creek, and Ridge Trail single track near West End. You must also do at least one lap on the pump track in Redwood Park.

This is an out-and-back traversing the entire Bald Hills Rd starting at101 heading east to the Klamath River, and back. There is an optional, but highly encouraged side trip up to School House Peak Lookout. Depending on the time of year, it may be staffed and you could get a tour! This route is primarily paved, however there is a small portion in the middle, near the lookout, that is gravel. Ride this route during spring and catch the amazing Lupine blooms. For an extra special adventure take Lost Man Creek Trail back down to 101.

A loop in the depths of southern Humboldt County and King Range. This route can be ridden in either direction, but starting from Tolkan Campground and heading clockwise is recommended. From the campground, head north up King Peak Rd. If you're feeling ambitious, take the optional Saddle Mountain Road which adds 4 miles and 1,100' elevation. If you're feeling very ambitious take a longer side trip over to King Peak Rd. and hike out to the summit. This side trip will add an additional 13 miles of riding, and 4 miles of hiking (bring some sandals). The standard route loops around to Ettersburg, Thorn Junction, White Thorn, and Whale Gulch on Usal Rd. Once at Shelter Cove Rd., take King Peak Rd. back to Tolkan CG to finish. Although most of the route is paved, the road conditions and gravel can be quite rough. Choose your bike appropriately.

If you have never heard of the Gasquet-Orleans (G-O) Road, you're in for a treat. This route will take you along the Gasquet side of the G-O road climbing up from South Fork Rd. This is a big Hors catégorie (HC) climb, 18 miles to the top where the pavement ends and the Wilderness starts. You will see very little if any traffic, incredible views, and evidence of nature taking back over. Although the road is paved to the end, it is not well maintained, rough in sections, and can have a lot of debris from falling trees and rock fall. Be especially careful on the 5k foot descent back down. Big Flat Campground is a great place to basecamp from, and there's a lot of other great riding around.

This is a tough one with some steep climbs up and over to the Perimeter Road. Start and Finish at Dyerville Bar parking area. The ride through Bull Creek Flats is absolutely amazing and a great way to start and finish the ride. Ride the loop in either direction. Clockwise will take you up the steep gravel Grieg Road MUT. There's an option to take a side trip (hike) out to Hansen Ridge Camp (turnoff at mile 11.5). Continue on Preacher Gulch MUT. There's another option to take a side trip up to Grasshopper Peak, otherwise continue south toward the Perimeter Road. Enjoy this fun 3 mile descent. There are two different options from here - the route shows the path along Tanbark Rd. At mile 16.1 you can instead hang a left which will take you along the perimeter trail to where Tanbark Rd. ends. This route is slightly longer and a little more elevation. From Tanbark Rd., it's approx 5 miles and 650' of climbing to Mattole Rd. Enjoy the fun 7 mile descent down Panther Gap and the nice cruise back to Dyerville Bar.

This is an out-and-back along Horse Ridge Road down to the South Fork of the Trinity River. There is an optional extension along Bierce Ridge Road not far from the river. This route travels along beautiful Horse Ridge visiting two Fire Lookouts - Pickett Peak and Horse Ridge. This route is primarily gravel, with a short section of rough, Humboldt pavement on Wild Mad Road. There are a couple five mile, sustained climbs on the trip back from the South Fork, but the grades are quite manageable at around 6%. The extension on Bierce Ridge road adds around 3 miles, but only a couple hundred feet of elevation to the climb. A gravel bike would be ideal for this route. *DO NOT ride the Bierce Loop extension. It was scouted in November and there are a ton of trees down. Until it gets cleared, it is not passable. Just do the out-and-back.

This is a choose your own adventure Cemetery Tour. The only requirements are you must visit at least 10 cemeteries, and of the ten you must have at least one in the Cities of Arcata, Eureka, and Ferndale. The remaining seven are up to you. This route shows a one-way option starting at the Greenwood Cemetery in Arcata, and ending at St. Mary's Cemetery in Ferndale. The cemetery in Arcata is technically two cemeteries (Greenwood and St. Mary's) so it counts as two. Please identify in your Strava ride the cemeteries you visited, either in the description or your photos. Don't forget to upload your best photo during submission, and get creative with your route!

This is a rough rendition of the route, but essentially you'll be riding a majority of the blue trails at Lacks Creek Recreation Area, so bring your mountain bike. There are multiple places to start but if you start at the campsite near the Ladders Trail follow this order: Lacks Mountain, Punchbowl, Pine Ridge Road, Jump Line (optional), take a right up the road to Stormy Saddle, Pine Ridge, Tomfoolery, to Midslope Rd. From here you'll take the road back to the campsite. For those more ambitious, ride Chutes and Ladders, the two black trails at Lacks Creek. Lacks is a great place to camp out as there are campsites and bathroom facilities, and also some great gravel riding nearby.

This section of the Coastal Trail, near the infamous Last Chance Grade, travels along old sections of Highway 101. You may have visited this area hiking along the popular Damnation Creek Trail. You can start the ride at either end, from Enderts Beach TH near Crescent City, or a pull-out along 101 near Last Chance Grade. The route is relatively flat along up top, but has a steep grade down/up from Nickel Creek. Enjoy the views at the bottom before climbing up, 1,000' to the ridge. Appreciate some rarely seen old growth trees, and evidence of the old highway along the way. Due to the rough trail this is best done on a mountain bike.

This is a very rough rendition of a possible route, but the intent is to ride at least 8 miles in the newly developed McKinleyville Community Forest and Macktown Trail systems. A smaller area south of Murray was just purchased by the MCSD and we need to celebrate. The remaining trails to the east and north of Murray are part of the Macktown Trails. Ride any trails you wish but get at lease 8 miles. Adventure using this map, find someone that knows the trails, or connect with us on one of the groups rides that will be happening over the summer. Many of the trails are already on Trailforks and more will be added soon. Please regard traffic when crossing the road. Have fun out there!

Get ready for a treat. This is a hearty but beautiful ride on some amazing Humboldt gravel and roads less traveled. This route starts and ends in Blue Lake, taking a magnificent trip up to Snow Camp Lake. Yup, there's a lake up there. A majority of Snow Camp Rd. is gravel and can be quite rough depending on the time of the year, but the views are spectacular. Take plenty of water and snacks, or a water filter to refill your supply. Enjoy the views, free range cattle, and if you're lucky the herd of elk that grazes up there. It can be quite hot in the summer, and cold in the winter so dress accordingly.

This is a relatively easy route inspired by the Sea to Summit Challenge of 2020. For this route, you must dip your wheels in the Pacific Ocean (rivers or Humboldt Bay does not count), and ride to Tompkins Hill. Your ride can start anywhere you like, as long as you dip in the Ocean at any point, and continue on to Tompkins Hill. The route provided is only one solution. Be creative, have fun, and don't forget to take photos of your bike in the ocean and top of the hill!

The classic "TUC", except you have options! Ride it clockwise, ride it counterclockwise. Ride it any day you like. Ride it during the event in September with hundreds of your friends. OR do a multiple day touring/bike packing trip. For this route we're allowing you to complete it how you choose. If you're interested in a multi-day supported trip, Chico Velo offers a two-day ride in September. This is a great introduction to multiple day bike rides. For those interested in a one-day ride separate from the September event we will be hosting a Strava Club ride sometime this Summer. Stay tuned!

This is a scenic, tough loop up and over Waterman Ridge with an extension around Groves Prairie. This route is mostly paved with a about 15 or so gravel miles. This route adds about 20 miles and 2,000 feet to last year's Waterman Loop. Bring a bike with low gears and fatter tires as there are some steep sections (20%) and rocky portions of gravel. Enjoy the incredible views on the ridge, and your reward of a long, 16 mile descent back down (keep the rubber side down)! Be cautious as there are four miles on highway 299, however, the shoulder is quite good for most of this section. Most of the route does have cell service, but there are some cell holes behind the hills. The Groves Prairie section does get above 5,000', so it can have snow late fall to mid-spring.

This spectacular route starts and ends in Alderpoint. You're free to pick your direction, however the route displays in a counter-clockwise direction. This route is completely paved, however some sections have rough pavement. Although the route isn't very long, it starts with an 11 mile climb up to Kettenpom, passing into Trinity County along the way. Kettenpom is a sleepy, scenic town hosting a small convenience store with supplies. Grab a soda and snacks before heading out to Zenia. After Zenia you'll drop down along the beautiful Zenia Bluffs, crossing back into Humboldt County and back to Alderpoint.
