So Im heading out to California (beginning of July) this summer to do some riding. A road trip. 19 days of touring, hitting loads of spots.
A) What places should I be looking into going to? Ill be flying into San Francisco. So anywhere within that area. We have a car and arent afraid of driving for hours to get to good places. We will be staying in motels along the way, so Im not based in San Francisco.
B) I need a pair of good shorts. What would everyone recommend? Ill be riding mainly singletrack while Im there, but I do dirt jumping, and a bit of downhill when Im home.

19 days and only one pair of shorts? They'll be following you home!

2 holes in the bottom, one in the top usually does it for me ;-)

Pearl Izumi Microsensor shorts are the best I've found. Of course, they're also $120.00 a pair. SuperGo has a ripoff of the same shorts for $75.00. I own three pair, and rotate them throuout the week.

Well, I love my Outer Edge Kadence shorts - Lycra, padded, REALLY great and comfortable fit.
Shaun aRe - And my butt looks gorgeous in them too. ',;~}~

I ride in 'Doobies' from n-zone.co.nzn-zone.co.nzOpen ↗ and love them. They're made in New Zealand but you'll get them to the states before July, no worries. Their sizing chart is acurate too, i bought a little too big and i'm regretting it / constantly having to pull them up. Best riding shorts i've ever warn though.
