Head up hill, cross the stream bed and go up the switchbacks. Yes, they are very ridable, just don't look down. At the top get ready for a smooth, fast trail. After a while it comes to a meadow area where it intersects jeep trails. Head straight across trail and continue single track or head down jeep trail, they both come together further down.
Jeep trail ends, but the single track keeps on going.
Now entering the Clikapudi Bay area. Trail winds along ravine staying above Lake Shasta's high water line. Bridge over a stream may or may not still be out from the Jones Valley fire. Continue along trail until Clikapudi Bay joins with Lake Shasta. Watch out for a tricky rock section the sneaks up on you.
