RAFFLE WINNER Posted on: 04/22/2011

We have a winner. Congratulations to Fidel Castro of Havana Cuba!

OK, not really, Fidel doesn't care about the Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship. Our real winner is Paul Bigbee of Palo Alto California.  Congrats, Paul.

Condolences to those of you who already planned your next vacation around the acquisition of your raffle winning bike. We hope you're not too disappointed.

Like the winner of the last raffle we had, Paul is going to be stepping off his Moots YBB (only Paul steps onto a Mojo SL-R). And like our previous SBTS raffle winner, Paul is in high tech and lives on "The Peninsula" (that what we Bay Area people call the area south of San Francisco north of San Jose). Paul lives in Palo Alto and works in product development over there at Cisco Systems, keeping us all surfing and communicating with each other. He has good memories of Downieville vacations past, and unlike our previous winner Adam, Paul has actually ridden in Downieville before. Sounds like Paul rides a lot and is active with a few different clubs on The Peninsula, so he will soon be making a lot of riders down there very jealous. Once again Paul, congratulations, random.org did you right by picking ticket 4149.

You all deserve a huge THANK YOU for participating, and because they're so impressive here are those numbers again
