Meet Our Spring Dreambike Winner (Plus, A Sneak Peek at Our Fall Giveaway!)

It is the moment we live for at California Mountain Biking Coalition: making a mountain biker’s absolute wildest gear dreams come true while celebrating the incredible community that supports our local trails.

We are beyond thrilled to send another massive congratulations to Chris Butcher, the grand prize winner of our Spring Dreambike Giveaway!

Chris is officially the proud owner of a brand-new, top-tier Santa Cruz Hightower. Known as a versatile, do-it-all trail smasher, the Hightower is the perfect rig for California’s diverse terrain. We couldn’t be more stoked to see this gorgeous dream build find its rightful new home.

It Takes a Village (and a Great Bike Shop)

An epic mountain bike giveaway of this magnitude doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It takes a dedicated network of partners who believe in our mission of expanding trail access just as much as we do.

We want to send a huge shoutout to our friends at Mike’s Bikes for making this entire giveaway possible. A special nod goes to the phenomenal crew at the Roseville store—specifically Tony and Andy. They rolled out the red carpet for Chris, getting his suspension set up, his fit dialed in, and ensuring he was 100% ready to hit the dirt from the moment he rolled out the doors.

This is what the California mountain biking community looks like in action: riders, advocates, and local shops all coming together.

What’s Next: The Fall Dreambike Giveaway

If you missed out on the Santa Cruz, don’t worry—we are already shifting gears. We have another massive opportunity for you to upgrade your quiver while supporting the trails you love.Mark your calendars: The CAMTB Fall Dreambike Giveaway officially runs from August 12 through September 26.

Choose Your Ibis Mountain Bike

For this campaign, we are incredibly excited to be teaming up with our friends at Ibis Cycles once again. We’re bringing back the fan-favorite Choose-Your-Ibis format. That means if your name gets pulled, you get to pick the Ibis model that perfectly fits your riding style. Whether you’re dreaming of a snappy Ripley, an enduro-ready HD6, or the legendary Ripmo, the choice will be yours.

Why We Ride (and Give Away Bikes)

While handing over the keys to a brand-new mountain bike is incredible, the real victory is what these fundraising campaigns do for our trails. Every single entry into our giveaways raises vital funds to support:

• Building Better Relationships for Trails: We work directly with local, state, and federal park managers so our local trail organizations can get more (and better!) trails approved and built.
• Empowering Local Trail Builders: We provide California’s local trail stewardship organizations with the training, tools, and resources they need to thrive.
• Fighting for You in Sacramento and D.C. : We spend time at the Capitol meeting with lawmakers to push for pro-cycling legislation, protect public land access, and secure funding for trails.
• Growing the Next Generation: We run the CAMTB Teen Ambassador Program, actively educating and training high school riders to become the future leaders of cycling advocacy.
