Sunshine Coast... North Shore?

Sechelt, BC. Between Vancouver Island and Squamish. The best single track I have ever ridden.

One other addition is City Park in Austin, Texas. 6.1 miles of the best technical riding. Constant up and down 1-3 foot ledges.

Just go to Crested Butte for a week this summer! Reno-Flag-Bear, Doctor Park, 40-everthing. Don't forget that you can connect a bunch of them, maybe multi day rides? Monarch Crest/Greens Creek/ starvation creek (Salida area)
That's a really good week.
That's all I can think about right now. Give those some time before they are thawed though. I went for a drive up high today and still found large snow drifts around 11,000ft

Here's some that you need...

In SoCal:
Noble Canyon/ Big Laguna
San Juan Trail
Santa Ana River Trail (near Redlands)
Idyllwild

Colorado:
Just about anything in Fruita (already on your list, but 2x)
Just about anything in Winter Park
White Ranch

In New Mexico:
I know it's already on your list also, but Gallup is great. The High Mesa trail was fantastic when we rode it in November, and I wish we had had time to ride Quaking Aspen. Soon, soon...

For frame of reference, all of these I rode on either a fixed gear or freewheel singlespeed, so they're one gear friendly!

Ispeedlos I forgot about those So Cal trials Thanks

Just about anything in Winter Park

Yeah I have put more miles on up there then at my hometown.. Just can't ever seem to bike enough up there

Oregon has lots of trails, although some law just passed that has limited access or even completely killed off riding on Mt. Hood.

There's a lot of trails in Bend, OR and not too far away is the Mckenzie River trail and Metolius-Windigo.

This month's Bike magazine ran an article on Black Rock in Falls City, OR.

add Ashland, Oregon to the list. I was supposed to be there 3 weeks ago but canceled due to snow and a race. My Downieville junkie friends like Ashland better than Dville.

Let me know when you make it to Santa Cruz and I can show you some trails that don't actually exist...

Just about anything in Winter Park
[and] White Ranch

:iagree: Winter Park (area) is great. White Ranch is more a local getaway but worth it if you're there.

In New Mexico:

Taos

Wyoming: Casper Mountain
