Cycling Events in Santa Cruz, California
Santa Cruz is where redwoods meet the ocean, and the riding lives in both. The Santa Cruz Mountains hide steep, shaded climbs and a legendary mountain-bike culture, while the coast highway traces the shoreline under the fog.
This is technical, hilly country, not a place for flat recovery spins. The marine layer keeps it cool and damp, and the descents demand respect, but few places pack this much variety into a short ride.
