Intermediate MTB Skill Progressions Retreat-Downieville

SHUTTLE, RIDE, LEARN, CONNECT

*Partnering with Carriage House & Riverside Mountain Lodge

This shuttled Downieville MTB Retreat is designed for intermediate riders. Those cyclists eager to improve their technical skills and ride with more confidence on some of the most iconic trails in the Sierra!

What makes this event different from other events we offer?  It is all inclusive! Breakfast and bagged lunch included, discounted accommodations, optional pre-clinic yoga class, mtb shuttle to top of trail system!

This early season intermediate Downieville clinic will be conducted on a nearby trail system to the Downieville Downhill.  With the uncertainty of snow up high this clinic is a great prep clinic for the Downieville downhill when the full trail melts out.   Suited for the more intermediate rider that is eager to  work on technical terrain and to build the skills to ride challenging terrain. This is a great progression clinic for someone that is not quite ready for the full Downieville trail system for their early season riding.  This clinic will include a shuttle to the start and skilled coaching and guiding heading down.

*If you are looking to take the advanced Downieville clinic, it will take place on the full Downieville trail system on August 16-17, 2024.

This intermediate clinic will breakdown the essential mtb skill progressions and techniques to ride confidently and efficiently on the rugged trails in Plumas County.  A valuable weekend of learning and time to connect with other like minded riders!

Just an 1.5 hr drive from Truckee and 4 hr from the Bay Area.
