Whether you’re a local pro who just needs a lift to the top of the mountain, or visiting Santa Cruz/Monterey with the family and need some local knowledge, we have you covered. We have been sharing the hidden treasures buried within the Santa Cruz Mountains and beyond for 10 years. Time to saddle up!
WE COME TO YOU
We are also a mobile bike mechanic service. We know that work, kids, in-laws, a sick dog or a rough night at the pub doesn’t always allow you to make it to the shop on time.
We offer bike mechanic services and repairs throughout the Santa Cruz and Monterey area. Our shop on two-wheels is equipped with everything you need for a complete bike overhaul.

All of our services are listed below. Call us today and we will show up at your door ready to get you rolling again.

FOLLOW THE LEADER
Jonesing to ride but not sure where to start? Our Trail Guides know the Santa Cruz Mountains like the back of their hands. If loamy Redwood covered trails, emerald green forests and panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean are your cup of dirt, our trail guides will show you the path.
From technical, highly advanced trails to smooth, beginner friendly terrain, we can tailor a ride perfectly suited to your adventurous spirit. In addition to trail knowledge, our expert guides can also assist with trailside essentials such as basic bike fit, suspension set up and any minor mechanical issues that might occur during your ride. And if you ask nicely our guides might even show you some super secret riding skills, too!
Put the map away and enjoy the ride!

Transport
Included in the cost of our guided tours is pick up and shuttle to the beginning of your ride. We have three pick up points in Santa Cruz (depending on the route) where you can safely park your car for the day. All guided tours are arranged so you finish the ride back at your cars.
what to bring
Come prepare for anything, including changes in the weather. That means appropriate clothing layers, as well as safety equipment, such as gloves and helmets. Water bottles and snacks are highly recommended. We also suggest you bring a spare inner tube in case of a flat. Our guides carry all of the necessary tools to take care of potential repairs that might pop up during the ride, but you are free to bring any tools and spares you like.

We have small, medium and large sizes to cover most body types. Contact us and we can discuss which size and style of bike best suits your needs.

Shuttle and Flow
lay of the land
Soquel Demonstration Forest is considered one of the premier mountain bike destinations in Northern California. From challenging and chunky natural trails to the famous 4-mile, handrafted Flow Trail, you are treated to a full days worth of dirty fun. Our shuttle will transport you to the summit of Nisene Marks Forest. From there your options are wide open – from fast and flowing singletrack to a long scenic cruise back to your car in Aptos through the beautiful redwoods, there are adventures for all skill levels.
Fitness requirements vary from moderate to advanced depending on your choice of trails and how long you plan to ride. We will provide maps and suggestions for routes for riders who prefer to navigate their own course. And as always we provide bike rentals and guides with only the best local knowledge for those unfamiliar with the area who can show you all of the hidden treasures in our mountains.
Weather conditions can range from wet and muddy to hot and dry. There are no water or feed opportunities in Demo Forest, so please pack accordingly with adequate food and water supplies, as well as tools and a repair kit in case of mechanical issues.
COST PER SHUTTLE
$25 per person when 3 – 12 riders are booked.
$30 per person when only 2 riders are booked.
$60 for a single booked rider.
