Google guesstimates the long version (Hwy 4/Ebbetts Pass) to be around 7 hours and 270 odd miles.

We can easily shorten that using either Hwy 108/Sonora Pass or simply going to Lee Vining for lunch and then back over Tioga.

When we start is the big question that I don't know the answer to. According to the web, Yosemite Park has the following times for Sept 27th - Twi: 6:24am, Sunrise: 6:50am, Sunset: 6:49pm, Twi: 7:15pm. We are looking at about a 12 hour daylight window to ride in.

If Google is right, we can start at 9 and be done by 4, leaving about three hours of sunlight to head home in. I don't think we should start much later than that since our ride time may lengthen due to traffic or unfamiliar roads.
