I can't wait until I transfer to that campus next fall. I'll be railing that concrete bike path EVERY day.
At night.
At night.
There are trails up there?
just huge fire roads and paved paths, I think theres a 15 mph limit too
I've heard of those trails... yes. But they are mythical and magical... and don't really exist.
It's like the yellow brick road. Maybe they exist in another dimension on Saturday and Sunday mornings? When the rain stops, the mist clears, and you hear heaven's trumpets?

There is one trail that I know of that is a multi-use trail called Ucon or something? Its a nice climb from 9 up onto campus. Its pretty fun going back down too! Watch out for the hikers!
Hey guys. I think he's talking about the fire road that goes from UCSC to Empire Grade. KILLER RUN!!!
That one does sound cool. I just got done riding a sweet paved trail on the other side of campus called Hagar Drive. Someone even painted a yellow line down the middle to seperate the downhill and uphill traffic. Watch out for cars though, for some reason they're everywhere!
I love doing cutties on the fireroads up there. UCSC has some of the finest rock-gravel fireroads anywhere I've ever seen.
cutties are best perform while going uphill - especially front wheel cutties. ucsc is perfect for that but please yield way to crossing traffic.
What is also fun is to do stair gaps in college 8 until you get kicked out by security or your wheel blows up.
Hahaha, that's the ghetto concrete one right? (the college, not the stairs)
Yah. The college that looks like it was converted from a prison block.
stokie brodies!!!!!! jammin' salmon!!! the shreddage in teh crooze is richter brah!
How are the UCSC trails with this rain? I wanted to go up and ride Wilder (and beyond) and maybe Demo on Tuesday/ Wednesday.
Well...if there were any "trails" they would be pretty muddy right now. If we get 2-3 dry days one might consider riding Chupacabra or DC, but anything resembling a ride on a magic carpet would definitely be out, unless you really wanted to mess it up.
i took the weekend off for the benefit of all myself. my hit it up after work this week though. can't get enough of that legendary paved/gravel fire road
I would like to update the Trail condition report.
Sat I rode U-conn and it was nice, a tiny bit of mud, than the fire roads were like a creek bed but the gravel kept it manageable.
I would also like to inform you all of my new accomplishment, not that anyone cares
I ride a VP free with a 888 and this ride I passed 3 guys on xc bikes UP ucon! I was so proud I was riding with Icantdrive and and I was about 30 seconds behind him to the top!
Man people push hard when they look back and see a dh bike about to pass

Haha nice. Its so true. People freak when they see a DH bike about to pass them going uphill.
I just did Demo the weekend before last & it was beautiful!
Wilder's been pretty wet, but I figure that since I'm riding by myself I'm not doing too much trail damage...
Anyone here up for a nite ride sometime?I finally got a light and would like to try it out.UC, wilder whatever.
