Already on there.

Oddly enough, as much as I've done hundreds of rides at Santa Teresa, UCSC and Demo, along with plenty of rides at Northstar, Downieville, and Ashland, OR, I've never ridden Fremont Older.

I'm weird. I know.


Nope. My dad is a retired cop for Santa Clara PD, and I ride with a paramedic for SFFD. Me? I'm a wedding photographer.

 

My boss rides with the firemen on the ST trails at 5-7 am. That's why I asked.

 

Hmmm... I'm out there 1-2 times a week riding Rocky Ridge and I think maybe once or twice ever I've run into other riders. I see hikers almost daily, but they usually stick to the fireroad and stay off the single track.

 

so when is the first road ride? i'm free on the weekends. the earlier the better so we don't cook on the roads. something nice and easy with good food at the end.

 

Not really sure. We need to figure out a good location for everyone.

I'd like to get one started though.

 

Skeggs point, Saratoga gap, soquel demo.

Joaquin miller park in Oakland

 

I didn't go through all the pages, but has anyone done waterdog in Belmont? That ish was so tough and had so many blind corners it wasn't even fun. Anyone else have that experience?

 

Try going at night with a pair of headlights, so chron!

 

Skeggs is chron, usually hit up Manzanita, but careful around the steps cause usually people hop off and walk around it, if you are nimble, its super cake. And go easy on the front brake.

Demo forest is nice, just a pain to get up the mountain on a DJ with a 11-19 cass, too lazy to swap it out. But Braille is by far the best with lots of jumps on the way down, good technicals and whatnot. Its funny to pass peeps on actual downhill bikes, just make sure you wear a full face and good shin guards..

 

Just got my OG Heckler frame back from powdercoating -- In World Rally Blue of Course!




I'm ready to eff up the new paint job. Going riding in Truckee this weekend. Holler.

 

Im interested once I get back from deployment.

 

So is this thread still a thing? I'm a downhill racer from Colorado and I heard there's some solid shuttle runs in the Santa Cruz area.

Anyone want to show me around?

 

demo, Annadale, Santa Cruz, and Skeggs are probably the best spots in the bay...these places make the travel worth it IMO

right now though some trails are hard to ride because of fallen leaves which makes it a bit difficult/slippery

 

I ride a 2013 nomad. Im out of shape for any heavy climbing but am down for some mellow trails until i get back to rippin it up.

Lets ride here in santa cruz, i can show you guys some cool trails.

 

I'm down for a ride some time soon. I'm going to demo on Saturday with a couple friends, and would be down to rip the UCSC trails some time. I also ride a Nomad.
