South Yuba Trail itself is a great winter ride but Highway 20 and the Omega -> Alpha Diggin’s drop in gets snowed in. If you wanted to shuttle the South Yuba you can always park a car at Purdon crossing then start at the eastmost trailhead which is just past the town of Washington. This makes for a great 25 mile ride and it’s quite challenging. There are also some good loops you can ride for various parts of the trail. For a decent map of the area go to MTBSingletrack and click on South Yuba Trail.

[...] Friday after Thanksgiving the weather was great so I flew the 206 up to Grass Valley and did a South Yuba ride with a group of guys from MTBR. Unfortunately my camera did a horrible job and the few photos I took turned out blurry or out of color balance (I’m certain the photographer had nothing to do with it). In any case… South Yuba is probably one of the best rides you can do this time of year. It’s a phenomenal trail along the South Yuba River. Not an extremely technical trail but a great cross country route. We parked cars at Purdon Crossing and then drove up to the Omega Road drop in which is above the town of Washington. It’s actually less driving then driving into the town and you add 4 miles of downhill riding. Last time I did this trip I took some video and a few pictures which should give you an idea of how great this ride is. [...]
