Sweepstakes Trail is a newer trail in the Weaverville Basin Trail network but it’s hard to get to. We got an early start one morning to mountain bike it.

Derek and I raced mountain bikes in Weaverville back in the early 2000’s and swung through on vacation over a decade ago but haven’t been back since. The riding is great! Big news, we’re …
