There's no question about it. We have some of the most beautiful MTB trails in the world right in our backyard. UCSC, Wilder Ranch and Gray Whale are all a ten minute ride from school.

Occasionally, we stop and try to remember how lucky we are to be able to ride where we do. Our local trails allow for riding sunny, rolling hill meadows, to steep forest descents or climbs all on the same ride. It's very easy for us to change up our training routes to avoid the same path, practice after practice.
