To have a (the only) Slopedurocross course in my backyard is pretty unreal. I mean… it’s the world’s most important form of mountain bike competition and its version of Wimbledon is right out my back door. That’s a dream come true… Unless you don’t own the course record… then it’s just pathetic. – Cam McCaul
SANTA CRUZ — Parks, beaches and trails reopened Thursday across Santa Cruz County as the week of strict closures — and a countywide ban on surfing — came to an end.
The temporary prohibition on use of recreational spaces took effect April 9 at the order of Santa Cruz County Health Officer Dr. Gail Newel. It expired midnight Wednesday, leaving residents once again able to surf and exercise on beaches, West Cliff and in most area parks.
