Fantastic mountain biking in the Soquel Demonstration State Forest just north of Nisene Marks State Park. The crown jewel is the 3+ mile Flow Trail, an impeccably constructed and maintained thrill ride carving down a mountainside through pristine redwood forest. The standard Flow Trail route is accessed by a steady 1000' climb on paved and/or dirt fire roads, descend 2000' of singletrack, then climb back up 1000' on fire road to the start.

The Demo can be accessed via Aptos Creek Trail from the south, but the primary access (which I used) is from the north via Summit Road and Highland Way. There are a few other trails in the Demo, including the black diamond Braille Trail. Hikers and equestrians are also permitted, but interactions between 2-wheeled, 2-legged and 4-legged visitors could get ugly.
