I'm going to look at colleges in California in two weeks and bringing my bike with me. What trails should I check out if I'm going to UCSD, UCSB, UCLA, Harvey Mudd, Cal Poly SLO, and UCSC?
Riding near CA colleges?
- Thread starter Lollapalooza
- Start date
Trails around UCSB aren't too shabby either.
Good to know, I'm a mid-pack Jr. X if that helps.
Then most of the trails should be OK for you. Most you can shuttle one you cant but it is worth the hike!
There are some great trails in SLO! Lots of looser rocks and gnarly steeps. There are a few smoother trails but get ready for rocks here. We also have the CP bike team which consists of a lot of roadies and XC riders but also handfull of great downhillers. Shoot me a PM for my email if you are interested in meeting up for a ride when you come through to visit. I can show you some super sick shuttle runs that lead out to campus.
SB or SLO if you like rocks. SC if you like smooth and short. Ignore the rest.
Spent almost 5 years at UCSB and loved every minute of it. Moved away about 7 months ago and I miss it like crazy. Incredible mountain bike trails (pretty much all of them have panoramic ocean views), perfect weather, beach access everywhere you go, and one of the most epic college towns you'll find anywhere.
