Last Saturday we attended a BMW National Adventure Riding Series Event hosted by Family Off Road Adventures. This ride is held twice a year and offers 150 riders the chance to explore some little-known trails around Yosemite.

Details of our route including gpx files, google map, and photos are posted on 2ShareOurRide.com.
