Kicking off the summer with another trip to Downieville and Mt. Hough in Northern California.

We hit the Downieville Downhill — 15 miles of pure adrenaline, from high alpine terrain to flowy forest singletrack and usually do it twice with hopes of someday adding a third. Maybe this year. Epic views, creek crossings, and enough rock gardens to keep your arms sore for days.

After riding, we cool off in the Yuba River with beer in hand, grab burgers at Two Rivers Café, and end the night around a campfire where we camp. Stars so bright you forget what cell service even is.

Downieville isn’t just a ride — it’s an experience. If you love real mountain towns, gritty trails, and post-ride swims, put this one on your list and join us.
