WORKING PARTNERSHIP
It's good to have the folks from Santa Cruz Bicycles back as Title Sponsor. Already the positive affects of this partnership are being felt throughout our surrounding trail system. In addition to their sponsorship of the Downieville Classic, Santa Cruz Bicycles is stepping up it's support of the Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship (SBTS) by providing cash contributions to subsidize volunteer trail work programs and to purchase tools and equipment. All funds provided by Santa Cruz Bicycles will be utilized as an in-kind match, allowing SBTS grant writers to leverage, sometimes as much as 1500%, additional trail maintenance and construction funds. A dynamic partnership that ultimately results in a trail system that is sustainable and accessible to mountain bikers for generations.
Click here to see how the Downieville Classic will benefit our recreation-based economy, enhance our community, and sustain and improve our surrounding trail system.
The Downieville Classic is the primary fundraiser for the Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship (SBTS). For example, $15 from every race entry goes directly to SBTS, as do all proceeds from beer donations and prize drawings. These funds allow SBTS to:
- operate numerous volunteer stewardship programs throughout Sierra and Plumas Counties.
- create employment by hiring a local trail crew to maintain Forest Service trails.
- purchase tools and equipment to support volunteer work days and our paid trail crew
- offer a college scholarship and work experience program for area youth.
- maintain over 100 miles of area singletrack, including the construction of North Yuba Trail and Mills Peak Trail.
