move over moab


I'm in Downieville, about 100 miles northeast of Sacramento, to test the downhill runs that gear heads and biking daredevils rate as some of the state's fastest and most challenging. As a weekend mountain biker and lifelong Californian, I heard all the talk about Moab, Utah, being the ultimate off-road biking destination. I wanted to find a new biking hub that has the respect of veteran riders without Moab's crowds and hype.

"If you can ride Downieville, you can ride anywhere"...

p.p.p.s. any ideas for what to call my barely-in-the-works girl-centric mtb site? sweetride.com was taken. boo

one starving musician came by to say: having the unfortunate luck to spend a few years in Utah I can say that there really is no place like Moab.
