This is the first "official" CAMBr trip of the year. Come join us for riding, relaxation, and the company of your fellow CAMBr members.

If you're a first timer on a CAMBr camping trip, here's some details:

- We usually get adjacent campsites or group campsites, and split the cost. Usually it is no more than about $10/tent per night.
- Everyone brings their own food and beverages, but sharing is common and encouraged
- Transportation to/from the trailhead is not provided by CAMBr, but carpools typically get worked out on the site.
- We ride. A lot. Its awesome.
- We laugh. A lot. Its super awesome.
- Santa Claus usually makes an appearance.

Here's a preview of the goods:

I need to ride my bike more, I need more time to ride my bike more, I need to finish college so I'll be able to ride my bike and have more time to ride my bike more.

Count me in. Thanks for posting the video from last year. I love that video. Sure wish I could ride 2-4 more weeks before my ankle is healed enough to even think about getting on a bike.

Just to add Levis was named 'IMBA Epic'- list of 50 + best trails in the country   http://www.singletracks.com/mountain-bike/imba-epics.php   
Top notch riding with awesome people... You can't go wrong.
Third year in the row for me, and looking forward to it!

We camp at the trail head.

If you are getting advice from me, I would strongly suggest you get a second opinion.

me and the missus are in.  For those who havn't been Levis is the best.  Great camping facilities right at the trailhead that nobody seems to use.  We had the entire place to ourselves over fourth of july last year.
