Keep up the good work people!”Īllison’s take: “Anyone who is an intermediate level biker and beyond will have a blast riding the Downiville Downhill trails.

The trails are top notch and I find myself shocked that it keeps on going when any other ride I’ve been on would be a fraction of the length. The trail is diverse from alpine rocky descents to forested, flowy and fast as hell. James’ take: “It’s easy to see why Downieville has become a premier bike destination with 14+ miles all straight downhill the ride is a kick in the pants.
