California is the home of mountain biking with bike-friendly and challenging mountain biking trails in gorgeous settings. There are many trails with different experience levels. Modern off-road cycling began in the late 1970’s in Northern California and today it serves as a popular form of both recreation and competition.
The many scenic trails with wonderful views of the crashing ocean waves, beautiful, pine-tree and rocky mountain locations as well as the slendor of the cities. The terrain and options are virtually limitless with smooth paths, flowy fun, rocky drops, treacherous gnar, and extreme tech punctuate hundreds of trail systems and riding parks. It all makes California a great place to go mountain biking.
