I went to Apto's to pick up apples from a farm yesterday and stopped in Santa Cruz for some mtb'ing.
At the start of the trail, I was asked by a young lady if this was the Emma McCrary trail with an accent. I mentioned that it was which led to directions. I asked them where they were from and they said Italy, wow, quite a ways away!
Many of the trails in this area are not on the map, so I offered to take them around and they took me up on it.
The ride was 16 miles and 1900 ft of climbing.

The two mtb'ers were pretty good, especially the guy who rode technical stuff very well. Like gnarly stuff that can huck you over the bars stuff....
I'm sure they enjoyed the trails with all of the trees, ferns and nature...
