Did you ride Flow Trail?Took the family and our trailer camping in Santa Cruz. Did a little mounting biking there today.
I don’t think so. Most of the trails here are not marked and your guessing if your a noobie to the area. Not sure what rode. I mostly followed some other riders from a distance. I was parked off of highway 9, near Felton.Did you ride Flow Trail?
You would have known if you rode Flow Trail. Its in the Soquel Demonstration Forest. Begins with about a 5.5 mile fireroad climb. Then start on an average trail into the trees for a mile or so, then you come to a spot with a small sign, maybe 10”x10”that says:I don’t think so.

I’ll be tracking down the flow trail next time we come. Felton is one of our favorite camping areas.You would have known if you rode Flow Trail. Its in the Soquel Demonstration Forest.

SEGMENT 1
FLOW TRAIL
This is the first of 6 segments of 4 miles of flowing downhill speed and delight.
before you know it your past the 2nd segment and realize your blowing through the 3rd at mach speed and grinning madly as you carve the perfectly sculpted burms and whoops.
When you finish the 6th and final segment your at the base smiling, laughing a bit and simply amazed at the awesomeness that you just experienced.
Your not finished yet, you have a 3.75 mile fireroad climb back to your jeep.
Immediately your looking forward to climbing back up to run it again.
Didnt mean to hijack the thread, but we were supposed to go back up there again this last spring/summer but covid changed our vacation plans.
We rode and really enjoyed the university trails as well last year, we camped for a week and
Im really looking forward to when we can return to camp and Mt Bike there again.
I went fishing Christmas Eve, my load list was cooler, rods, sand spikes and chair. Water was a lot softer though.Went Ice Fishing!
