Santa Cruz Demo Day!

Last weekend on July 16th Yuba Expeditions held a Santa Cruz Bicycles Demo day in Graegle, California, as a fundraiser for the Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship.  The Santa Cruz Tallboy Carbon, Bronson Carbon, and Solo Carbon were available to demo for free on some fine high sierra singletrack, shuttles cost $10 which, proceeds support future trail projects in the Downieville/Lakes Basin area!

I rode the Santa Cruz Bronson Carbon, it was awesome to be able to spend some solid trail time on such a nice bike.  I loved the 650b wheels and for bike with 150mm of travel pedaled excellently.  We were shuttled from Graegle to a fire road, from there it was a three mile climb to Mills Peak Lookout and the top of Mills Peak Trail.  This was my first time riding this great trail and was impressed by how the rocky root filled tread still had excellent flow and is defiantly one of my favorite trails!                                                                                                                                                                                          

The Santa Cruz Solo is the shorter and lighter travel brother of the Bronson with 125mm of travel.

This event was totally awesome, and was well attended.  I hope other demo events will occur in the Downieville area!!!
