JT Davis wins Super Bull
Thirteen was the lucky number as the 13th Annual Super Bull Rodeo, held Saturday night under the summer stars at the Modoc District Fairgrounds in Cedarville, drew over 800 spectators, contestants and team supporters to fill the Grandstand Arena.
Twenty-eight bull riders were whittled down to the final 6 who competed in the much-anticipated Short Go. Only one rider stayed on for the 8 seconds needed to win the night’s big money.
Time after time, the bulls dashed the hopes of each contestant, leaving only JT Davis from Red Bluff hanging on long enough to claim the top prize.
Along with a handsome purse, Davis earned a silver belt buckle donated by Modoc Motor Parts and Surprise Valley Auto Parts. It was presented by Dr. Chuck Colas, the 2009 Bull Committee President.

Gold Rush bike ride from Davis to Davis Creek and back
On July 6th a hundred experienced riders will depart Davis on a 1,200
km (750 mile) bicycle ride called the Gold Rush to Davis Creek and back.
They will have 90 hours to complete the trek. The route takes them through the back roads of the Sacramento Valley to Oroville before they begin the climbover the Sierra following the Feather River to Taylorsville, Antelope Lake and then down the Janesville Grade to Susanville.
From Susanville, the riders will continue up State Route 139 to Adin and on to Alturas and Davis Creek via SR299. There are several stops, called controls, along the way where riders record their progress and stock up on food and rest. Riding 750 miles in 90 hours does not afford much sleep. The Elks Club in Alturas will be one of the stops.
Riders will be passing through Alturas between Tuesday afternoon and
Wednesday evening.
