At a Glance
The Battle of the Bulge, El Guettar and
Messina. Some of the great victories engineered by that
soldier’s soldier, General George S. Patton, Jr. But for modern
two-wheeled recruits, it’s the Battle of Mokelumne Hill that’s
really worth fighting. You can just hear the engines of the
Sabres rattling as they wind above the North Fork Mokelumne
River, then straighten to pass through the development quartered
either side of West Point. Well-engineered volleys of curves
follow, bombarding the asphalt and forcing you to ess down one
side of the South Fork Mokelumne River’s densely treed gorge and
up the other. The eerie quiet when the road straightens through
some ranchland is but a lull. The skirmish resumes in the
remote, corner-riddled jungle, where you maneuver back and forth
over the ridge between the Calaveras and North Mok valleys
before finally dropping down the Calaveras to end the mission at
Hwy 49. Just how does it feel to be in the heat of DH61? Patton
himself said it best, “God help me, I do love it so.”
