MECHANIC NEEDED FOR REMAINDER OF '09 SEASON
Our lead mechanic went and broke himself at Northstar, leaving those of us who know how to wrench working late into the evenings, which with the level of burnout that takes place this late in the season can be self destructive and certainly doesn't help with the family life. Anyway, we're offering up a paid position to someone that can make a bicycle sing, has some serious people skills and the ability to operate a telephone, computer and cash register. Knowing how to take photos, write a complete sentence and maintain a web site doesn't hurt your chaces either. This position also includes housing at the world famous Yuba House, located in downtown Downieville on the sunnyside of the hill. Give a call if you're interested.
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.
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.

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. On your journey be sure to check in with the SBTS Trail Crew working on Long Lake Trail.
