All Riders Will be Shuttled to the Top of All Trails Listed Below
Riding Times: Meet at parking lots at 9:00am

FRIDAY:

007 (Beginner):
This trail features five sections (we will determine how many sections will be ridden once the time comes), which has small technical rock sections between smooth, fast and flow segments of the trail. This trail includes many nice lines, drops, rolls, berms, and other fun areas to ride. It’s a really fun trail for beginners with some technical areas.

Sugar Pine/Corlieu

Sugar Pine - This is an easier, flowy, and beautiful intro-trail to a very technical and fun descent down to Corlieu Falls. Stairs, rocks, roots and steep areas lead to the falls and all the way down to Cedar Valley.

SATURDAY:

Mary Jane/Easy Street/Willow Creek/Angel Falls (Advanced):

Mary Jane – This is a nice advanced trail that features some great rocky areas near the top and a fast descent on the way down. The trail leads to a huge, steep rock face that goes down to the trail into the oak forest. The trail from this point on is fun, steep, fast, and includes some technical sections.

Easy Street: Easy Street is a fun detour from the top of McLeod Jeep Trail to Willow Creek. It is a short, yet technical trail that links directly into Willow Creek (cuts out a very short, smooth section of it).

Willow Creek – This trail is by far the most beautiful and scenic trail of the day. Willow Creek is a well-balanced ride, loaded with technical rock and root sections, smooth track, drops, and lines, which can be sectioned as long as riders would like. This shaded trail is surrounded by oaks and pines, dogwood and alder trees that border Willow Creek. Closer towards the end of a ride is a very technical rock garden up on the ridge with a magnificent view of Bass Lake. Fun rock gardens at the end of the trail below giant moss-covered boulders take you to the creek at the end of the ride. This trail is challenging, rewarding, and beautiful, guaranteed.

SUNDAY:

Nelder Grove (Beginner):
Take this opportunity to ride in a grove of Giant Sequoia trees. There is a fairly smooth trail that loops around this beautiful forest, and you can stop and see the trees as you go. There is an area with picnic tables too if you’d like to stop and eat there.

McLeod Flat (Advanced) is an extremely technical trail with a wide variety of rocks all the way down. This is a challenging and enjoyable trail to ride with endless lines, drops, rolls, and more.

HOUSING:
My uncle owns a B&B, less than ten minutes away from the trailheads we will ride. This is a wonderful way to support locals and to connect with other riders. This is a 2 bedroom, 3 bed, and 2 bathroom house. If multiple riders are comfortable staying here together, this is a great option. If people are also okay with sleeping on the couch and on the floor in sleeping bags, more can stay here. Website below:
