THE ROAD TO RENO THROUGH NEVADA CITY AND DOWNIEVILLE..

A race promoter's nightmare, the trashed single track left by the Coolest 24 Hour race, hell, it may come back better than ever!

Nevada City=Breckenridge in California, Mark Twain's early years spent here.. The bridge which spans the confluence of the American River branches just outside of Cool, California, it pissed like cats and dogs the entire 24 hour race...park officers were not happy with the "new" 8-10 foot wide 14 mile long "singletrack"

Let's be perfect;y honest here folks, Reno is a bit of a dump, however the road to Reno from the Coolest 24 Hours (which may be in serious jeopardy after DESTROYING state park grounds this weekend) was nothing but an incredible drive through some of California's amazing Sierra Nevada Mountains. A brief stop in Nevada City, where the theatre Mark Twain performed in still stands, through Downieville, home of their 26 mile downhill MTB race and Yuba Expeditions where we pulled up and the shop "employees/owners" were outside doing this shit...I hate talented kids.
Want more single track? Go do something about it, here is your shovel.
Yuba Expeditions in the small town of Downieville, great shop with great people workin it. Many bike shops do not get it, that they ALL sell the same shit and that it is the PEOPLE who work there that make the difference, these guys get it, stop in if you happen to pass through.
