3 Day Mt. Bike Trip August Aug 24 - 27
The trip will be at least one day-trip to Downieville and either 1 or 2 other days of riding depending on how people feel. Anywhere we decide in the Nevada City area or Tahoe. We are all ready kicking around ideas of palces in
Nevada City (the biking is supposed to be fantastic) or possibly
Mr. Toad's Wild Ride or maybe
Hole In The Ground. Still up in the air with the only definite being Downieville and having lots of fun.
Below is a cut-and-paste of the email I sent to Mike and Ivan with a very brief description of the place we are camping.
We are staying at
Scott's Flat Lake Campgrounds
It’s right off Route 20 in Nevada City. That’s about 1 hour to Downieville in one direction and less than 1 hour to the Tahoe Donner Summit on Route 80 (by Boreal or Sugarboul)) in the other. The reservations are from Thursday Aug, 24 – Sunday Aug, 27. So we can check in anytime after 4pm on Thursday and have until 4pm on Sunday to get our shit packed and out. The campsite is relatively close to the lake and bathroom facility. I’m waiting on paperwork. When I get it I will pass copies along to everyone. We can have up to 10 people and as many tents as we can fit on the site. (I don’t know the size of the site yet) If you think of anyone else that might enjoy a hardcore 2-3 day Mt. bike adventure let them know.
So far, those I think are going are Me, Ivan, Mike, Chuck and Dave.
PLEASE CONFIRM yes or no so we can figure out how many vehicles, tents and how much space will be needed to accommodate.
Let me know if anyone else is interested.
And if you are thinking about joining us, ....Please no novices. This will be semi - aggressive xc trail riding. Also, be prepared to pump out at least 1, 20+ mile day (last time I did Downieville we did 24 miles) and 1 or 2 easier days of 13 - 18 miles. That said, this will be a shit load of fun.
The costs will be minimal. Probably $100 - $150 total for everything.
