Whats so great about Downieville? Well, where do I start? How about an 18 mile downhill ride without having to do the climb?
How about experiencing just about every kind of riding known to man in these 18 miles? Great scenery, great people, where do I stop?
Heres how it works. We get on a shuttle (a van) and they drive us up to the top of the mountain, (usually takes an hour) and on the drive we all make up our best mountain bike wreck story! They drop us off at the top, and its 18 miles (or longer, depending on the trail) to the bottom. Very little peddling!
When we get done, there is a great little town we stay at right on the river. We sit out on the porch, have a couple cold ones, BBQ and swap again, more wreck stories. |
