My friend Roger hit me up and told me about shuttling a trail in Palm Springs, California called the Palm Canyon Epic. Of course I said YES, but I didn't know what I was getting myself into. After reading about it I knew It was going to be an adventure and a backpack type of ride. On these big rides its always a little scary getting stranded. I would suggest always riding with a friend. Bring enough water, snacks, tools, an extra tube, etc. This trail was an adventure for sure and I would highly recommend it for anyone in the Palm Springs area looking to ride mountain bikes. We paid $45 each for the shuttle and it was super simple to book (all online, Crazy Bear Bikes) I can't wait to find more trails like these. Be sure to comment below on where I should ride next. And thank you for watching!!!!! Hope to catch you all on the trails sometime!

Love PCE. Rode it twice on my Orbea. Yet to do it on my EMTB. I bring a pair of mini needle nose pliers for Cholla sticks. There are four ways to finish from the tractor. Three leave me at my back door for some BBQ. Ping us on the next run!!!

We pedal up on E-mtbs from the bottom, Dunn Road up, cut across Pinyon trail to Palm Canyon Epic. Have been out exploring all the trails around there this year. 7 times so far this year. Doing different variations of the trail combinations. Great place when weather is bad in San Berdo and Riverside.

This ride is really what mtn biking is all about......getting out there with your best buds and having a blast. No power meters, no Strava, no heart rate monitor, no nothing except the bike and some food and water. And the more remote the location the better.

@losusmil Жыл бұрын

We did this ride about 6 weeks ago and the trail was in Epic conditions! However, we did an entire loop. We started in Cathedral city and rode all the way to the start of the actual trail. It was a grueling first 4 hours of about 20 miles and around 5k of climbing. Serves as a great training loop with a fun descend. We got lucky that the 3-mile sand area that everyone complains about was not very loose as it had rained the day before and also rained a little bit that same day. Nice video!

I’ve ridden all kinds of trails, bike parks, local, road, DH. PCE is the only trail to almost do me in. Got heat exhaustion and nearly got life flighted. Just did it again recently and knocked 2 hours off my PR ha ha. This trail is no joke, bring at least 3 liters of water per person.

Great trip, great video! Much more fun crossing a desert mountain range than riding laps in a bike park. What I would do next, if I could borrow your Levo Expert for a day🤣 is the same trip reverse from end point to start point. A 26.6 mi climbing trip basically, testing the bike's low gears, motor, battery and my own fitness😅

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you guys only did half of the trail. The real pce is a left at the tractor to the han trail. Thats another 2 hours. You went through one of the arts which is like 15 mins to the bottom. Still fun though
