| A fun rock lip on Ridge Runner |
Hi all, I just went on a great ride up in Forest City. Forest City is an old historic town in the Sierra Nevada near Downieville from the gold rush era. Some of the historic buildings still stand in town.
There are many great trails around Forest City, expertly built by the Forest Trail Alliance (FTA) these trails are the epitome of flow. Today I started at the kiosk went up Sandusky Jeep Road and Trail to Big Tree Trail Head.
I stopped at the beautiful stone bridge to check out the "String of Pearls", a super cool optional technical rock feature.

From there I descended Ridge Runner and High Grade Trails back to Forrest City. Ridge Runner is around four miles long and is filled with banked turns and and fun optional technical features. High Grade Trail is one of my favorite trails and is a roller coaster filled with big banks and just enough lose rock to keep it interesting. Today my rear derailleur cable broke on this trail.
This great XC loop is around 11 miles long, it is an awesome ride no matter what your skill level is.

our Winnebago had some wiring but not enough for the fan to be remote and have a thermostat. It might have taken a few hours and a few brownies but Gary got it all done. forest city
