A new film showcasing Santa Cruz’s mountain biking culture premiered last week in Monterrey. The film, called “Strength in Numbers”, which features Santa Cruz area pros Ryan Howard and Brandon Semenuk, exhibits the famed Aptos Post Office Jumps.

Next Friday, the Santa Cruz Mountain Bike Festival will set its wheels in motion. The festival will focus on the growing prominence of women in mountain biking and all of the proceeds will go to help Soquel Demonstration Forest, a favorite haunt of the county’s mountain bikers.
