Can­cel­la­tions:

Rid­ing wet or mud­dy trails can cause unnec­es­sary dam­age and ero­sion. We reserve the right to can­cel demo reser­va­tions due to heavy win­ter rain storms.

How do we mea­sure if it’s too wet to ride? Check out the San­ta Cruz Moun­tain Trail Stew­ard’s post on the topic.

Any demo bikes returned after the com­ple­tion of your demo time will result in a late-fee of $100 per bike, auto­mat­i­cal­ly charged to your card on file.

Guid­ed Tours:

If you’re not famil­iar with the trails around San­ta Cruz and would like a guide, we sug­gest our friends over at The Ride Guides. From their web­site: ​“At The Ride Guides we teach bicy­cle han­dling skills, guide clients on our favorite rides, and encour­age respon­si­ble trail eti­quette, all of this while squeez­ing the most fun pos­si­ble from two wheels”.
