Hot Bellas on Bikes....and riding stuff too.
Team Wrong Way and the always fine Velo Bellas joined forces for a excellent riding trip to Downieville. Three great days and three excellent rides!
Friday we rode from Union Flat campground to Packer Saddle and came down Butcher Ranch, 3rd and 1st Divide.
Saturday we rode the Lakes Basin trails up to the top of Mt Elwell, down to Graeagle Lodge, took the Lily Creek trail back to the Lakes Basin Campground and then back to Gold Lakes Lodge.
Sunday we took the Yuba Expeditions shuttle to Packer Saddle, climbed up to the overlook on Big Boulder, descended down to 3rd Divide, climbed back up and went down 2nd Divide and then 1st Divide back to town.
