Well, pictures at some point later, maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow, but I just got back from the Sierra’s. I re road the course of the 2001 IMBA Epic on the South Yuba River Trail in Nevada City, and the next day did my Downieville favorite, Big Boulder to Third Divide.

Here is a contest entry for you hard core folks. Santa Cruz will be choosing 1 man and 1 woman to be taken on a ride with Mark Weir and Rachel Lloyd. If you can stay with these folks on a 60-80 mile course with over 10k feet of climbing, you get to keep the Nomad they let you ride.

The much loved & ever popular Wednesday afternoon rides from Passion Trail Bikes to Water Dog Lake and surrounding trails are starting up. And, thanks to the early change to daylight’s savings time, the first ride is tonight!
For the first few weeks, we’ll be departing Passion at 5:30PM, so be prompt as we’ll have limited daylight to play in. We time them so that no lights should be needed, but a rear blinkie is always a good idea. After the ride, we will retire to the Lounge for the usual refreshments & ride rehash.
Of course – helmets are required just in case you decide to act like the chap in the picture!
As the season progresses, and sunset gets later, we will incrementally move the start time forward until we hit 7PM, then reverse that process around the first of August. To get info about the specific time for each week (and for other rides and events), you should get on our customer email list.
Come on out and enjoy the ride…
A separate issue…
Passion is hiring. If you know someone who is interested in working here, send them our way. Will train.

Over 30 demo bikes and awesome weather. Made for lots of smiling faces.
We had 3 lead group rides on the weekend, and a bunch of people who took bikes out on their own at other times. Seemed like around every turn at Waterdog or DMC you’d see another person on a demo ride.
Special thanks to JayB, JohnH, JustineM, DaveO, and BeckyG for leading rides!
Below are some pics from the rides…

Had a great ride at Skeggs today. Something between 17 and 20 people (some joined us in the middle, some left early, and I never got an accurate count to start with) showed up for the ride. Conditions were great.

I hope you got out for a ride last weekend – the weather was amazing and the trail conditions awesome. It is hard to remember that we are in the middle of winter. But this couldn’t last, and the next few days will be a bit more like what we expect of winter.
But us being in winter means that racing season is just around the corner…

We had 2 great days of riding at the Soquel Demonstration Forest (the Demo). We had about 11 folks on Saturday, and another 7 Monday. Trail conditions were awesome – that perfect time after we have had enough rain to wash the dust away, but before there is enough rain to make mud. On both rides, we went across the Rodge Trail, down Saw Pit, up the fire road to Tractor, up Tractor, back on the Ridge to Braille, down Braille, and up the fire road and out. Definitely a good workout.
I have uploaded some short video clips to Youtube, and linked to them from here…

I think everyone will agree when I say the weekend was awesome. Big Boulder on Saturday, Lavezzola Creek on Sunday, and a Butcher Ranch on Monday.
It had rained up there the week before, which washed away the dust and added an extra helping of traction. Those of us who had been there many times before all agreed that the conditions were the best we had ever seen.
So, enough talking and on with some pictures…

Come join the Passion Trail Bikes Downieville Gathering on the weekend of October 7-8. Downieville has become a destination for world class riding and the rides have lots of fun, technical singletrack. If that is what you like, this will be a weekend well worth attending…
