After about two miles, I reach the "shortcut" from the south fork of Globe Mine Road to the middle fork

I've made my left turn on Ivanpah Road, which heads south for three miles
It's highway bicycling for the most part in this area of Mojave National Preserve (Ivanpah Valley), but there are a few dirt roads in the open flats that could be explored.
