Only 30 miles north of legendary Downieville, California, sits an oasis of empty, deserted old mining trails ready for plundering. The Trail Ninja joins Cannondale riders Mark Weir and Ben Cruz for a 2 day romp around the Lakes Basin area, pulling mile upon mile of flowy turns and endless rocky staircases out of the bag for the penultimate instalment from the Ninja, in his 3 year crusade to show the best of riding locations around the world. If you go ride anywhere in California this has to be the place. And Arnie even makes an appearance.
