Mountain Biking The Cannell Plunge

November 4, 2008 by TrailsTV 

Located in the Southern Sierra Nevada Mountain this ride is definitely an epic ride with some of the best riding and most incredible views that I have enjoyed in Southern California. You will get over 32 miles of riding in on 98 percent single track.

With the low point at the rides end in Kernville at 2,700 feet and the high point of 9,900 feet on Sherman Peak you are guaranteed to get in some epic descents. The primary descent is “The Plunge” where this wonderful single track drops 5,000 feet in just 8 miles. This ride is not an all fun and games ride as there are a couple of grinder climbs that combined with the altitude will certainly wipe the small off your face for a while. This ride is well worth the drive to Kernville and the hour long shuttle from just about anywhere.

    The videos on the site seem much better. They are not stopping like before. Congratulations on the change.
