The Downieville has been on my bucket list for a while now and this awesome clip from Yeti Cycles and John Reynolds featuring Ross Milan and Mike West has captured the trail the best I’ve seen yet. 2011’s winning DH time was 38 minutes. Rumour has it that non-race pace cruising will have you turning in a time over an hour and a half…
So brutal, yet so essential. I’m a slug and did it in around 1hr20. The final climb is short and a mellow gradient, but will still make you want to lie down and die….
