ALL-MOUNTAIN WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS
August 4th - 5th, 2012
Two-Day Mountain Bike Stage Race, featuring:
Point to Point Cross Country Race and Downieville Downhill Race
All-Mountain Class or Survival in the Sierra? Either way, this event will test and torture the riders and their bikes, Downieville style. Racers will compete in both the Point to Point Cross Country and the Downieville Downhill, on the SAME bike. Lowest combined XC and DH race time wins. Riders should choose their weapons wisely; a bike that climbs efficiently, descends with precision, and can handle a high-speed beat down for 46 miles on the way to victory.
SEE CROSS COUNTRY AND DOWNHILL PAGES FOR INDIVIDUAL RACE SPECIFICS
There will be a mandatory bike weigh-in and a parts check starting at 8:00am each morning at the start line. No switching of parts, or modifying of parts. The bike must weigh the same each day, or rider is bumped from the All-Mountain class.
Pro All-Mountain category- there will be a timed cut-off for reaching Downieville in the Cross Country race. Riders have 3 hours to complete the 29 mile course, or they are pulled from the All-Mountain category.

For many riders, this is all you'll see of
Mark Weir, 8-time Downieville Downhill Champion and Jason Moeschler, 3-time All-Mountain Champion.  |

"Stick to the Track"
Some riders seem to be all too familiar with racing events like Megavalanche, and other big mountain enduros, where the fastest man or woman down the mountain, regardless of the route, is crowned champion. This type of racing became a problem in the 2010 Downieville Classic, as we had several riders using what we like to refer to as "Hillbilly Lines". We are officially ending this method of racing, by placing course marshals in known “cutter” areas. Riders that do no stick to the track will be disqualified.
