- Wilder Ranch State Park - Santa Cruz, CA 2020

I rode there a long time ago, in the mid-1990s. I'm sure it's even better now than it was then. The trail along the bluff is perfect for introducing someone to off-road biking. I remember riding up into the hills, and I stopped in the shade for some water and a snack. A bobcat came up and sat in the shade with me, only about 8 feet away. I hope to ride there again sometime.

Awesome!, what an amazing experienced. I’ve only seen deer, wild turkey’s & among other small animals. Definitely, the ohlone trail is a great place for a beginner, with more advanced trail’s just up the mountain. Stoked for you to ride there again, Wilder Ranch has many awesome trail’s, probably find some new one’s along the way. Thank’s for sharing…👊🏽

I have never seen that trail in the woods at Wilder ranch?

[@Marcopolomtb]

The trail is called "Old Cabin", it is best access thru [ Englesman loop Trail], a fire road that takes you to the top and intersect with old cabin. Hope this helps....🤟🏽

[@savage1469]

@@Marcopolomtb Thank you very much. I'm gonna have to check it out after the rain.

You rode Enchanted Loop backwards! Take the second entrance next time

[@Marcopolomtb]

Thanks...😉 Defenetly Will go back to ride it clockwise...🤙🏼

[@lplacido61]

I haven't been out there in a few years. Need to get out and stretch the legs a bit, just might be the right place to do it. Hopefully, the weather is nice too. Even if it isn't, it's still a beautiful place to ride. BTW, what did you use for your editing software? I'm always curious to know what people like and don't like. Be safe!

[@Marcopolomtb]

You should, it is a great place...all the trails are awesome, specially Ohlone Trail. I am currently using LumaFusion for editing, it's easy to used and works great with my iPad Pro 2019...🤙🏼

[@TheOtterBiker]

Did you have the boost turned on or no on the gorpro???

[@Marcopolomtb]

Yes, HyperSmooth Boost was turned ON @ 4K/24 fps

[@TheOtterBiker]

@@Marcopolomtb Nice! Im going to have to mess with the setting because at 4k30 I think it crops the video with boost on

[@simplyriding2196]

How long did it took you to complete the ride?

[@Marcopolomtb]

It took me exactly 3hrs & 30 minutes. Total distance 22-miles.

[@simplyriding2196]

@@Marcopolomtb Thanks and would you recommend this route for an average begginer? Btw, nice video. 👍

[@Marcopolomtb]

@@simplyriding2196 Yes, Wilder Ranch has awesome trails for all skill levels. I would recommend riding ( green trails) such as : Wilder Ridge Loop, Twin Oaks, & West Englesman Reroute, they have gentle climbs & descents. ( Thanks..🤙🏼)

[@ErikWayne87]

How was the climb on this loop?

[@Marcopolomtb]

The climb was not bad, towards the middle technical sections will definitely test you, took me about 25min.

[@shotokun16]

Which .gpx file did you download for this? or did you have a customized map for this one?

[@Marcopolomtb]

I used Strava, for all my cycling activities, it is a great app for finding trails. Will be adding a link shortly, of the complete loop I did @ Wilder Ranch...🤙🏼
