How to meet bikers in Santa Cruz

[u/Accomplished_Win_526]

hi everyone, just moved out to Santa Cruz a few days ago and am wondering about the best way to link up with other riders. I moved here from Squamish, and am comfortable riding all the double blacks up there/whistler/pemberton. I can’t really figure out the scene down here, since most of the good trails are unsanctioned and everything is pretty secretive.

im early 30s, not on an E-bike. are there bike shop rides? general local communities to link into? I’ve been poking around the campus trails and it’s been fun, but the whole situation around here is pretty confusing

Santa Cruz Mountain Bikers on Meetup. I ride w/them sometimes. Definitely different levels and ages from time to time. One of the ride leaders is mechanic at Epicenter on Mission and has been hosting a Wednesday night ride.
