The American River Classic offers some distinct trails, because this ride covers portions of the "Tevis Cup" trail. This is the only sanctioned endurance ride that follows the last section of Tevis in the day time. Come experience what most riders only see in the dark, in the day light! The trail follows scenic wild flower single track, fireroads, creeks, Oaks, streams and plenty of climbs. Come ride the Infamous Olmstead Loop, western states trail and cross NO HANDS BRIDGE!
Remember to check our Blog for any ride updates.
