We will provide breakfast and lunch both Saturday and Sunday as well as dinner Saturday night. Bring your own favorite ride snack or lunch if you have special requirements or favorites. Complimentary post-ride beverages will be provided.

The weather should be warm during the day but tends to cool off at night since we will be at 5,000 feet.

Join the Student and Family fun.

Saturday, we'll have pros working with the kids to teach skills clinic, focusing on proper trail riding techniques and form.

On Sunday we'll be focusing on trail building as we continue progress on the Mt Elwell Trail, in partnership with the US Forest Service.

Hi, I'm Craig Schroeder,

I believe I already signed up for the epic last month after I joined the SBTS at the Downieville Classic. I just tried to create a user login for the site, but wasn't successful. In any event, I just want to verify I'm on the list. I spoke to Nica Lorber, about bringing my Coleman pop-up camp trailer, and she said it shouldn't be a problem. Please confirm so that I can plan accordingly.

Thanks!
