Now being from BC I may be biased, but overall I'd have to agree that BC has the best riding. I'm not aware of anywhere else that has as many great trails or as much variety. More FR and DH you could ever get around to riding, epic back country xc in all kinds of terrain, 4 ski hills with destination-class riding plus 2-3 more that are getting better, and every town in BC has a group of riders building sweet trails. 95% of the province is publicly owned land so access is easy and the land managers tend to leave us alone as long as we don't build in parks. And there's so much space we have few conflicts with other users. |

What should I put here?

Here there's a variety here of all types of trails, but we're proportionally pretty low on DH and FR type trails in So Cal. We also don't have the expansive views and endless spectacular scenery that you get in a lot of other places. So I wouldn't rate So Cal as a "destination quality," but for everyday riding, we've got it pretty good.

Its all about the weather: 75-85 a sunny every day all year long with zero humidity. No other place in the world matches that. Trail variety, but agreed probably not as much DH as BC, Rockies and some other places. Rode alot on the East Coast and California definately has less roots (on the trails, that is).

NZ was real nice, just wish I had more time there than I did.
I like the ST and travel aspects of Copper Canyon Mexico. That is some real rugged and crazy country to travel on a bike. I look forward to going to BC for some backcountry XC heaven! Ride on! |
