HUGE Santa Cruz SALE!
Now that the snow has landed, we have a bunch of medium Blur LT2 frames we need to unload, at incredible end-of-season prices. Here's a link to the inventory list.

NORTH YUBA TRAIL extension
After a productive summer in the Lakes Basin Recreation Area, the Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship (SBTS) Trail Crew is back in Downieville, working to complete the highly anticipated North Yuba Trail extension. Once complete, this riverfront trail will provide a backcountry connection between the historic gold-rush towns of Downieville, Goodyears Bar and Forest City. This non-motorized trail is located below 3,800’ elevation and will remain snow-free for much of the year, and will benefit local trail enthusiasts and merchants by lengthening the season for outdoor recreation in Downieville. Sierratrails.org for more info.

DOWNIEVILLE TRAILHEAD NOW OPEN!
After 10 years of planning and a summer of construction, the Downieville Trailhead facility is finally open to the public. The facility offers parking for approximately 30 cars and has a restroom. It will also serve as the trailhead for the North Yuba Trail; a 7 mile long singletrack connecting Downieville to Goodyears Bar. The trail is scheduled to be completed sometime this winter by the SBTS Trail Crew with grant funds from Bikes Belong and REI. If you are headed to Downieville and plan on spending the day on the trails, please utilize this parking area. To get there, cross the bridge between the gas station and the pizza place, take the second right onto Durgan Flat Road and follow it until it ends at the Downieville Trailhead.

TRAIL WORK. The SBTS and YUBA have contributed over 20,000 labor hours to our surrounding trail system. Join us for a volunteer work day this fall. The next Trail Daze event is January 10th on the North Yuba Trail extension. For more information, go to sierratrails.org or give us a call at the shop.

RIDE OF THE WEEK!

don't do it without a set of boards under your feet

Once Hell Ride was complete, the guys at Santa Cruz left behind one of the new Nomads for us to check out, and let me tell you, this bike is sweet. It loves the rocks, up and down. It's light, the bike i'm riding weighs 30lbs, not bad for a bike with 160mm of travel.
We'll have Nomad and Blur LT2 demos available for the 2009 season.


DOWNIEVILLE SINGLETRACK ALERT: SNOW! grab your boards and hit the backcountry
