WOW... The hardest thing I have ever done in my life. The Downieville classic is a 29 mile cross country mountain bike race that features an eight mile climb straight up hill followed by 21 miles of downhill, some more uphill, boulders, drops, more drops, narrow trails (with cliffs on the side), bridge crossings, water crossings and a few helicopters to pick up those riders who adventured off the side of the cliffs.
This is the first adventure that John and I completed on our two week road trip. The best part about this race is that John took 3rd place and I survived. Here are a few photos from the race and the beautiful town of Downieville, population 100. The rest of the photos are from the rest of our adventure.
