NEW LOCATION FOR YUBA IN GRAEAGLE

See why Bike Magazine calls Graeagle a "Secret Stash" and then come visit us in Downieville's Sunny Shadow at 121 Highway 89, Graeagle, California (530) 836-1708.


SANTA CRUZ BLUR LT CARBON!
Santa Cruz Bicycles sent us this sweet Blur LT Carbon frame and asked us to build it to our "Downieville Tough" specification. So, we called our friends at Chris King, Shimano, WTB, Formula Brakes, Crank Brothers, and Fox Racing Shox to help us with the challenge. As it sits (pictured on the NEW Smith / Jamison Connector Trail in the Lakes Basin near Graeagle), the bike weighs 26.06 pounds (large frame size) and is ready for anything the Sierra can throw at it. We have several framesets in stock for sale, along with a complete line of demos for you to test ride. You can also enter to win one of these bad boys at www.santacruzbicycles.com, and the contest benefits the Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship and the area's trail system.


NORTH YUBA RIVER TRAIL
Well, after nearly 13 years of digging, the North Yuba River Trail is rideable from Downieville to Indian Valley. This 17 mile stretch of singletrack can be combined with a shuttle from Packer Saddle to make a 35+ mile point to pint ride. Yuba Mountain Transit now offers pick up service from Indian Valley to Downieville and Packer Saddle.

TRAIL WORK
The SBTS and YUBA have contributed over 22,000 labor hours to our surrounding trail system. Join us for a volunteer work day this summer. The next Trail Daze event is September 12-13 in the Lakes Basin Recreation Area. For more information, go to sierratrails.org or give us a call at the shop.

Downieville, California Divide Loop
RIDE OF THE WEEK!
Everything is open and in supreme condition after the spring rains. I recommend a tour of the Lakes Basin trails along with a sampling of water temperatures at one of the 35 alpine lakes. Followed of course by a nice rip off the top of Mt. Elwell into the town of Graeagle for a margarita.


We will feature the new Santa Cruz Nomad and Blur LT as part of our new All-Mountain demo fleet. These bikes are Downieville Tough and they love the rocks, both up and down. Come up and ride before you buy. If you purchase a bike from us, we'll cover your demo and shuttle fees for the day or throw in 10 Packer Saddle shuttles.
