Going to head up to ride the SART next weekend. We have ridden it several times and always start at the Heart Bar campground and ride back down to Angelus Oaks. I'm trying to figure out if there is somewhere to start up higher than Heart Bar so that we can get a longer ride out of our road trip.
Anybody have any ideas or specific directions?

Thanks in advance for the advice.

well you could drive all the way up to Fish Creek TH on the Fish creek road, part of the ride down would be fire road until you come to a bit over grown jeep trai(should have a small sign)l on you RHS, follow that down across the PCT and hook back up to the SART by Heart Bar. but it is a sucky drive, regular cars can do it but need to go slow.

If you want to extend the ride, have your lower vehicle parked in Mentone and ride from Heart Bar all the way down. You can either climb up the singletrack behind the post office or climb the road to Angelus Oak. Descend the trail, hop on fire road for a bit then climb to Morton Peak, and descend the rest on trail. The part below Angelus Oak is lesser ridden but very cool. You could also descend from Angelus Oak to Loch Leven.
