Skill and fitness levels
Though our rides at Santa Cruz Bike Tours don’t require you to be an expert, you should be reasonably fit prior to your tour. Going out twice a week for a few of hours of sweat breaking riding should have you in good enough shape to enjoyably keep up with group. Single track cycling skills such as negotiating switchbacks, riding on hillside trails and over and around obstacles like roots and rocks are essential to having a great and safe tour.
Bringing your own bicycle
If you are bringing your own bicycle, you should have it checked out by your local bicycle shop before departing, and tune up bicycle and replace worn-out parts as needed. We bring spare parts and tools common to most mountain bikes on rides, but if your bicycle has special features or specifications, you should bring your own parts and tools.
If you had to ship your mountain bike in a box, our friends at Bike Station Aptos can assemble it for you ($35 charge) and disassemble and re-box it at the end of the trip (additional $35 charge). They also do expert repair work, though you may have to rent a bicycle for a day while repairs are being made.
