Nutcase Detour is a short, easy mountain biking route in California, about a mile from the town of Sulphur Springs. It's an out-and-back ride of roughly half a mile, with a low point of about 1,210 feet and a high of about 1,315 feet, so the climb is only about 80 feet one way. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show April highs around 74°F and October highs around 81°F, while July and August average in the low 90s. Several other mountain biking routes sit close by. North Hog Farm Rd. is about 0.1 mile away, Nutcase Ridge is about 0.2 mile away, and BBQ Lid and Hogway to Heaven are each about 0.3 mile away.
