A few months ago, Neil and Phil drove up north to ride Annadel State Park, one of the most technical and fun mountain bike trails in the Bay Area. Annadel is popular among local riders for providing the kinds of long rock gardens, jumps, and other challenging trail features that aren’t as easy to find closer to home in the East Bay. Any time we make it up to Santa Rosa to ride Annadel, it’s a treat.
Neil and Phil met local
Cycle Monkey friend Jake at the trailhead. Neil chose to ride his Lens Sport Lunch Box, a 29er trail bike set up with a Rohloff hub. Neil built up the 150mm travel bike
specifically for aggressive riding, with sturdy rims and a laid-back seating
position. It’s the bike he takes when he’s able to make it up to Tahoe and big
mountain trails in Colorado, Utah or other parts of the Southwest.
