We're on a mission to ride, document and post every cool outing there is in Santa Cruz and Monterey County. This will take time, a lot of photo ops, typing, and hours and hours of spinning on our best local roads and trails; it's a sacrifice that this dedicated web crew will just have to endure.

If you're new to the area or just passing through, the info you'll find on this page will get you started and introduce you to some of the classic stuff that our mountains and coastline have to offer. Email us, or stop by the shop if you have any questions.

If you're a local and you've pedaled these routs a thousand times, email us your experiences or hook us up with suggestions and new places to ride.

Local Trail Rides

Sand Point Climb: Thick in the redwoods of Nisene Marks, this long fire road climb rewards you with a spectacular view of Monterey Bay. If the ride up didn't take your breath away, the view surely will (okay, we've been reading too many real estate flyers...)
