Santa Cruz, California

Saturday, May 3 – Sunday, May 4

Over the years this camp’s become a hit, something that’s especially great because there are few places we love visiting more than Santa Cruz.

Not only do we get to see our friends at Fox Racing Shox and Giro, but the Bicycle Trip welcomes the camp with open arms, and the variety of trails makes for some very fun riding.

In the mornings we run our on-bike skill sessions on the Harbor High School grounds. In the afternoons we head out in a number of different directions, so that each particular participant riding group gets to apply their new skills on a trail well suited to their interests and abilities.

Typically we ride in areas that are close by, such as Delaveaga, on Saturday afternoon, and venture further, to places like the Soquel Demonstration Forest, on Sunday afternoon.

Basically, whether you’re into smooth singletrack, bermed corners, technical climbing, rolling drops, small to medium jumps, rock descents or natural log rides, you’ll find what you’re looking for at the Santa Cruz camp.
