Come help us put the finishing touches on the Beckwourth Peak trail! The newly completed 14-mile lollipop trail is punched through & the SBTS trail crew has completed the equestrian go-around at the arch, but we still have some final work to do before the trail beds in over winter. Spend a great day digging in Portola & check out the newest trail in the system! Drop us a comment with any questions!

Mt. Hough Women’s Weekend Rocked! 18 ladies rode nearly 50 miles of singletrack on Mt. Hough over two days this weekend, including three of the five top-to-bottoms. We ended the first day by descending the QTC trail into beautiful Taylorsville, where we based out of the Taylorsville Campground, showcasing the concept, and all the work the SBTS Pro Trail Crew has done over the past decade+ to develop the Mt. Hough system. It was a wonderful weekend built on adventure, camaraderie and learning new skills, courtesy of our awesome leaders Katerina Nash and Brianne Spiersch, and lead Yuba Expeditions guide Mason. Thank you to everyone who joined us, we can’t wait for 2028!
