Father’s Day at Downieville

Packer Saddle * Sunday June 18th, 2006 * 

The conditions were perfect when dhReno made the trip to the NorCal mtn bike mecca  for a great day of riding.

The Butcher Ranch trail is in great shape and not nearly as wet as we had expected. A few snow drifts at the top but it is all rideable. After a mile or two we ditched the snow alltogether.

Flat changes

Double trouble: twin rear flats at the same place, same time, two different bikes – spooky.

'07 Fox DHX Air and 165mm of travel work great on this trail.
