If you haven't done Mt George before, just a word of caution....the road after Wooden Valley which leads you up to the pass gets quite narrow with NO shoulders. People driving up that way tend to go fast so keep your ears open (you'll hear them coming!).
That's a great ride. Haven't done Atlas Peak yet (it's on my list). Sounds like you will have a challenging, but great ride. Gordon Valley is especially beautiful right now- orchards full of yellow trees. Quite the sight!

Thanks, Nancy. I know the roads and 121 is used heavily for brevets and the Knoxville Dble, to name a few rides. As it is after the boating season, the traffic should be better than during the summer. Atlas Peak is amazingly remote and deserted though there is home construction up there.

Yes, the signnage for the Knoxville double and the Fall Foxy are quite visible both on Gdn Valley and at the turn onto Wooden Valley and then up at the junction. Everytime I ride up there, it's a reminder of how popular this route is! AND for good reason as some of you know!
Have a nice ride!
You will find nice folks at the Vintage Cafe (Mankas Corner) if you need water or bathrooms. They are quite used to cyclists coming in. Great food too! That's about the last place to get water until you get to the other side of Mt George that I know of. Nancy
