I Found a Hidden Bike Park in San Luis Obispo | The Eucs | Mountain Biking California

[@paul2067]

I live right by there and I love this trails me and my dad get to go about once a week

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Lucky!

[@Jay_Mac1775]

Same. I’m gonna look into it once I buy an MTB

[@Herrera419]

Nice I heard about this place. I live in orcutt. I’m going next weekend

[@gabeoutside6388]

Question for you Paul. Would you recommend parking by the 101 or driving up the dirt road and parking up there safety wise? I'm in this area a lot but it's always with camping stuff in my truck that I'd rather hold on to...

[@johnc.4025]

Super great video Tony and thanks for the shoutout I knew you would enjoy it. Along with the great trails system and beautiful scenery it's one of the best trails in SLO. So many more trails in that area to explore all with beautiful scenery. It's one of my favorite areas to ride. :)

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

For sure John - and yes, this entire area is unreal. Great trails in such a beautiful place. Thanks for the heads up!

[@junkeaable]

I get to ride this trail from my house! I usually climb Shooters and hit Botanicals/Morning Glory on the return then session the skills park a bit. You picked the right time of year.

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Nice next time I have to hit those other two down to Eucs! I hear it’s a rad shuttle all the way down as well.

[@bkroko]

whenever im staying up there I get to ride those daily since my house is on tv tower so they are literally my backyard

[@junkeaable]

Ben Kroko I didn’t know there was a house on TV Tower. Is it where the pavement ends?

[@RobertJonesSilum]

Quickly becoming one of my favorite youtube mtb'ers. Couldn't agree more with your rant at 15:05. Awesome videos man!

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Thanks Robert. Means a lot buddy. 👊✔️

[@NathanDelaney]

Well known to us Locals for sure. Anyone parking there needs to be extra careful of having anything valuable in their vehicle. Due to close proximity to HWY 101 it is pretty common to see quick smash and grabs.

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Great advice Nathan and here I was thinking I was smart. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Thanks!

[@biketothetop]

Tony, great video, thanks for sharing. I'll have to hit this place next time I do a road trip with my bike up the coast. I share your passion and motives for getting outdoors and seeing the scenery as you mention and ponder at 15:05 Prior to mtb, I was all about hiking, scrambling, climbing off-trail to bag peaks in the N. Cascade mountains around Seattle. My primary motive for getting out is to experience the many wonderful natural mountain settings. Once I moved to San Diego I was also blessed to have the opportunity to explore the hardcore desert and how are Eastern County. Desert sand is not the friendliest of surfaces for mountain biking, so I found having a plated enduro dirt bike was a great way to take in even more.

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Thanks for sharing and well said. Glad you appreciate those things as well.

[@biketothetop]

@@TheOutsiderMTB I just edited my comment because my stupid dictation software fouled it up :-) I was referring to the desert sand as a basis for dirt bike in the desert.

[@gwayne9955]

You gotta come back! Recently they built up a lot of the birms in the Eucs and added a few more jumps to both runs, as well as smoothing out certain parts too. Great video, thanks for sharing!

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Thanks for the info!

[@BrianVaughn]

Those trails you find out in the middle of nowhere are always fun. Might be the best trails, but that feeling of being in a secluded place away from the rats race is amazing.

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Agreed - the great trails and feeling away from it all is one of my favorite combos. Thanks for watching Brian. 👊

[@jitterspec]

On a road trip to escape COVID, and met local while riding Irish hills (highly recommended!!). He told me about tv tower because I was looking for campsite for night. Ended up pitching tent at top of elevator shaft. Beautiful sunset but trash everywhere SAD!. Did CCW loop of TV tower, botanical, morning glory and up shooters. Totally missed eucs section! Oh well - next time. I got into mtb for same reason as you - the views! While climbing shooters, I heard a cougar or mountain lion screaming (I was told they're mating). Blood curdling scream - not pleasant when climbing alone and tired!!!

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Thanks for sharing! That's awesome - glad you're able to get an escape right now too!

[@wakazuzu]

As an Australian it's really weird seeing all those eucalyptus trees! It really looks like a local trail for that reason. But apparently the trees are quite disliked in California? Because they are really well-respected here, and some of the older specimens are among the tallest trees in the world.

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Interesting - I didn't know that. From a personal standpoint, I love them. Really adds to the landscape. Thanks for tuning in from the land down under! 😉

[@jitterspec]

@slimeone you are correct, I've heard Californians disparage eucalyptus. They're referred to as "Roman candles " because the oil makes them burn so easily. You guys just had massive fires. Eucalyptus?

[@wakazuzu]

@@jitterspec Yeah basically all the native forest in Australia is Eucalyptus apart from rainforest and swamp areas. Bushfires are a natural part of the Australian ecosystem, with many species of trees seeds only sprouting after a fire. The Aboriginal people understood this and developed advanced strategic burning practices to help sustain a healthy balance in the environment which prevented fires from burning out of control. Unfortunately the land is no longer managed like this and much of the ancient knowledge has been lost.

[@kaiventurebags7504]

Nice find! We gotta try that one when we do our bikepacking trip from Portland to Los Angeles. Or whenever we go back up north! Also for those explorations, you should definitely have bike bags to take with you. I'm not saying that to sell you anything. But for safety as well. You can take food with you, warm clothing, tools, and even extra water! I rather lug around a bit extra weight to be on the safe side. But nice video, dude!

[@TheOutsiderMTB]

Thanks for the info man. I don’t think bike bags would work for downhill trails though I’m a full suspension bike right?
