The directions as described work well and the best way to tackle this road. The bottom section is through farm land, then starts rolling hills for a bit around Cache Creek Casino. That is a great place to stop for bikes with a smaller gas tank. The canyon ride begins shortly after this and is (somewhat obviously) the most fun part of the ride. As per much of the Nor-Cal canyon rides, there are potential for rock/mud slides and there were in a couple of places softball sized rocks on the road. So, lots of care needs to be taken - especially on the blind corners.
