Head east out of town to Lavezzola road. right on to south 1st divide trail at small P.G.E station. easy climb to Lavezzola road and take a right onto road 2nd Divide is only a short climb on your right. climb some more ( both 1st and 2nd kinda roll alot of gain loss ) I have never seen anyone clean the final climb to 3rd Divide where you will take a left for a short climb to a very fast drop down 3rd Divide to the fire road which drops to the north section of 1st divide just passed bridge on the right.

Review: Beautiful, narrow singletrack with epic views of the river and some blazing-fast descents. Mostly smooth, although there are a couple of technical spots.
Review: Definitely shuttle if you have any questions about your fitness or even if you just want to be fresh to really enjoy the fantastic downhill. This is great stuff! Four stars for just the divides, five if you do the full downhill with Sunrise and Butcher Ranch.
Review: 8,000+ feet of climbing total, so your long travel bike might not be the best tool, for this ride.

Review: great trail at speed ( AS FAST AS YOU CAN GO ) It's got flow w/ shots of tech. keep your eye on the trail not the river down below or you will get to see it close up.
Review: apparantly racers can do this in 45 minutes, took me about an hour and a half haha cuz we stopped for food, safety meeting, etc. definately get a map if you havent been here and make sure you have enough daylight. first time i was here it got dark real fast and i had no flashlights or anything

Review: only way to ride it all is up then down. Down hill ony is butcher Ranch to 3rd which is fun but a differant ride
Review: Very fun ride if you take the shuttle up. There are many trails but Butcher Ranch takes you to 3rd Divide to 1st Divide back to town and it is almost totally down hill.
Review: Go to Yuba Expeditions, and pay $20, and shuttle to the top. The ride down is incredible. Don't limit yourself by riding up then back down!
