September 5 -  7
Sierra Buttes, Berger Campground

Stay tuned for more information and the summer ride schedule!

If you are a St. Anselm’s dad and interested in learning more about this trip, please sign up for announcements over the summer.

Weekend Action

  • Gear up and head north towards Downieville, CA as early as you can get started (Approximately 4.5 hrs ). The camp will be set up at Berger Campground (new site for 2025). Select a site (the entire campground has been reserved). Settle in and relax, or get on the trail and explore a ride, hike, or river to fish. Dinner will be provided that evening by your hosts around an awesome campfire. ( more info to follow )

  • Wake up to breakfast provided by your hosts.

    There will be a ride from Packard Saddle down into Downieville for anyone interested. This is a primo ride off the Sierra Buttes, dropping almost 5000 vertical feet. In addition, there will be groups heading out for Golfing in Graeagle, Fishing on the Yuba, and Trail Running on the PCT.

    Grab lunch on the go and Saturday night’s dinner will be Potluck ( grills and cooking area will be set up )

  • Breakfast is on your own.

    We’d love any help we can get cleaning up the area, but understand folks need to head back home. For those who want to grab one more pedal, we can consider another descent or a lap back near Nevada City or Truckee.

Donations

  • This has been an annual event at St. Anselms for over 10 years and once a perennial fundraiser. (Thanks Covid). We want to bring it back to full strength and get a new group of dads enjoying the Sierra Buttes together.
