Mountain Biking Cathedral Rock Loop

November 2, 2008 by TrailsTV · Leave a Comment 

Great trail with awesome scenery. The singletrack is quick and twisting. Lots of up and down with some technical sections to it. Halfway through you can take a dip into Oak Creek, and if you want you can swing on the rope and jump into Oak Creek. After that, it’s some moderate to strenuous rid... read more

Mountain Biking Cuyamaca State Park

Less than an hour’s drive from San Diego lies a rocky, moderately hilly, desert landscape that would seem to be created for mountain biking. The weather, of course, is Southern-California perfect. The rides aren’t overly difficult, but they definitely pose a challenge. Riders that take o... read more

The great long-haired Kokopelli — once the ancient Hopi god of fertility, now the poster boy for nearly every tourist group, bike shop, cafe, bookstore and real estate company in the West — was never much of a mountain biker, according to legend.

Wilder Ranch State Park, just north of Santa Cruz along highway 1, is a great place to ride, for beginners as well as advanced riders.
