Home / Mojave Preserve and Desert bikepacking trips / 2009, Spring: Mojave National Preserve / Day 16: Button Mountain to Baker by bicycle via Aiken Mine Road, with a stop at the Lava Tube, Mojave National Preserve /
I often find myself riding in the furthest-left tire track on the road to avoid the bumpy washboard surface
It's an interesting, constant navigational exercise trying to maintain the smoothest ride possible. Old Dad Mountain ahead in the distance was part of my original trip plan, but this trip ended up being pushed ahead a month into hotter weather at the lower elevations.
The track leading up the distant hill is the road to Jackass Canyon, which I rode during my late-2007 Mojave trip.
