I have a gravel bike and live in Santa Cruz for so many years, always went out of the town to ride my bike. Can't believe I never thought about exploring those trails.. Thanks for making this video!

Enjoyed the video and Larry is a heckuva tour guide ;)

Yeah, riding a dirt trail through a redwood forest looks pretty awesome!!

Another great video!!!!!!!!! I really am envious of your great weather and fantastic scenery. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Great video, always something new, really good experiences with the gravel bike in anywhere.

Was just there in Santa Cruz/Monterey last month. Passed Wilder Ranch and visited the Santa Cuz factory!

Great videos and very informative. Making a bucket list

I love UCSC. Great video!

finally some norcal routes! your routes are usually way too far away from me, thanks

The intro music is epic

Thanks so much for posting. I grew up in the redwoods near Soquel Village. Only recently been getting into cycling and dream about going back up there to ride. I mentioned it elsewhere but I'd go straight to Nisene Marks and ride from Soquel to Aptos if I'd my druthers. Not exactly sure if that's strictly MTB territory or if gravel bikes do fine there. Those old roads in Soquel and Aptos are beautiful to ride as well. I have some Bay Area friends who would be excellent guides if you want to hit Marin at some point. One of them got his bikes built by Caletti and Hunter. Thanks again for so much inspiration!

Nice family trip!

Great video! This is on my list for sure. What would be more ideal between fast rolling 2.3” XC and 43mm gravel tires?

Wow ur near me

Wow Zac is that 650b wheels Larry’s running? Awesome 👏 loved it🤙

There's a lot more redwoods than people think it's just second growth

Saddle up, partner!

Have you ever tried riding a full-suspension MTB on some real trails like the Downieville downhill area? If not, it's a whole new world of fun, and much less monotonous. Another rock, root, jump, curve, stream crossing or...? around every corner. It's like comparing volleyball to baseball. One is active, the other, dull & boring *_by comparison._* - This from a guy who used to ride 15-25 miles/day on my brand-new 1972 Italvega Superlight from the age of 12-on. I've never had more fun than on the dirt, have never missed nor will ever go back to the road, potholes, dangerous drivers, another road sign, fencepost, narrow shoulder, etc...

So u prefer southern or northern California
