A day riding the Auburn, CA Trails

Until this weekend, the Auburn area has mostly been a pit stop on our way to Northstar or Downieville. We’ve heard the area contains some good riding, but until now, it was like a secret whispered about but not shared. It is easy to get into habits with our riding spots, and ride many of [...]

Rockville Park- Fairfield, California

Believe it or not, there is a decent amount of riding fairly close by for mountain bikers that reside in the Bay Area. The drawback to the stuff in near proximity to the population centers, is that much of it is overrun with park users. (said population) Its a situation ripe for user conflict. There are [...]

Dialing in new lines in the Mid-Penn; Bay Area, CA

It doesn’t feel like there is a lot of new single track trail action going on here in the Bay Area, so in moving back here I haven’t had my hopes up. With that said, you can imagine that when I met up with the local homies at their spot in we now refer to [...]

Skegg’s Point- Woodside, CA

Skegg’s Point, also known as El Corte de Madera, is a popular destination for Bay Area XC riders. Although there is an awful lot of double track and fire roads, there are more than a few choice sections of twisty single track hidden in the woods that make the trek worthwhile. We did some fun [...]

Oat Hill Mine Trail, Calistoga, California

The Oat Hill Mine Trail is more of a road than a trail. A former stage coach route, this route leads to a former mining camp in Calistoga, California. While it’s a bit of a haul from the heart of the bay area, the views and the rocky tread make it worth checking out at [...]

Sycamore Rocks – Inner Empire, California

Southern California doesn’t often come up when discussion turns to riding destinations, but with a year long riding season, the sandy lands down south begin to have major appeal when the northwest soil turns to mud. After spending over a month in So-Cal house sitting, hanging out in the area and getting some riding time [...]

Tunnel Trail- Santa Barbara, California

All the cold and wet winter riding here has us longing for warmer climes and sunny weather. It has been an interesting time, especially after not even having a winter last year, (that was nice!) and living in the moderate weather of the Bay Area for the last several years. For now, I’ve been content [...]
