Chico Velo
The third Butte County Gravel Grind is a bicycle race, ride, and fundraiser to support the Colby Mountain Project.
Learn more about the Colby Mountain Project and the Trailworks Program.
NEW THIS YEAR
No more Humbug Summit burn scar or log decks. Long Course riders will enjoy pristine alpine forest, abundant creeks and shade, and views of Mount Lassen: Rattlesnake Creek.
Medium and Long Course riders will get to ride the Escape Trail, a new addition to the Colby Mountain Recreation Area.
A Brief Description: The Colby Mountain Recreation Project is a collaborative effort that envisions 40 miles of new singletrack traversing a spectacular alpine landscape, welcoming a new generation of residents and visitors to seek adventure or a retreat from the world in this undiscovered corner of the Sierras. We need your help to write a new chapter of sustainable outdoor recreation in Jonesville, one that invests in protecting the pioneering spirit of this community and stewarding the natural beauty of the region for the next 150 years.
Post ride meal and drink is included in registration price.
Come enjoy a beautiful day in the mountains and ride your bikes with us!
