Dave from the Ride Guides was friendly and professional in both email communication and while on our ride. I was impressed with how well Dave did bridging my skill level (intermediate) with my partner's skill level (expert) on our route. I never felt left behind or pushed outside of my comfort level.

I would highly recommend this company to others.…

Courtney, thanks so much for making the ride a part of your tour through California with Chris. It was a blast spending time with you both, I hope your finish through Big Sur and Yosemite was as fun and beautiful as Santa Cruz!

I organized a ride with dave for Saturday. He asked a few questions about my skill and what I like to ride before booking. He also organised bike rental through spokesman cycles. I rode a ibis ripmo which I would highly recommend. We met at the bike shop and headed up to UC santa cruz andstraight on to the single track. Dave did a great job of getting a feel for my pace and skill level. We did a mix of nice flowy trails with some steeper, rootier parts mixed in. It was a perfect introduction to trails in santa Cruz and I'm already planning my next visit with Dave even giving me some advice on my route. I couldnt be happier with my experience.…

Maybe it is better not to use cycling shoes and get some Knee Pads, as I felt 2 times . After the Single Track Dave took me to the West Cliff, where you can ride along the sea coast, which was wonderful. I certainly recommend this tour. …

Irene, it was great hosting you on our trails, thanks for looking us up! I agree with your comment about clip-less pedals, flat pedals are far superior when developing mountain biking skills on singletrack. Enjoy your holiday!
