The Dawn of a Golden Age for California Singletrack?
April 9, 2013
As a teenager I became acutely aware that as mountain bikers my friends and I were the “black sheep” of the trail user community. The singletrack we rode was often built illegally and we were never certain how long any given trail would last before it was “erased” by land managers. Even trails officially open to mountain bikers could be an unpleasant experience. Read More ...

Steinbeck’s “stink” of “tin” and “splintered wood” had long since been replaced by a homogenous blend of tourist fair: high end galleries, souvenir shops, apparel stores, and upscale restaurants.
