- The Grizzly 100 is coming up on September 25th, 2021. It’s a 100 km endurance mountain biking race in Big Bear Lake, California, using pretty much all of the best trails in the area. There are also 30 km, 50 km, and 75 km race distances open to everyone who wants to participate. Learn more and register here: bbvrace.com
This trail in the video is called Seven Oaks. It’s a very steep descent down the mountain's back, starting from Grand View Point off of Skyline Trail. It is part of the 100 km and 75 km races only and will be the first descent of the race. If you’ve ever ridden this trail, you know it gets loose and narrow with some sketchy exposure. So you gotta be on your toes and not risk anything. It is advisable to walk some sections where you don’t feel comfortable. At the bottom, you get to ride the amazing Santa Ana River Trail, aka SART (watch the Part 2 video). But once that’s done, you gotta pay the price of admission and climb back up via the dreaded Radford Rd. This is probably why this trail isn’t as frequently ridden as the others in Big Bear. I’d say it’s worth it, though.

Ben Goyette, from all the trails which is most fun?
From the Grizzly? IMO Skyline is the most fun, especially the final segment used in enduro races
@@bengoyette cool thanks
@@bengoyette I meant from trails in so cal
very dry and crunchy!
Wow! Fingers crossed you don't get held up by someone slower on this part of the course as it looks tough to pass.
That will be an important factor for sure. It'll be worth burning a few matches before this descent.
I made that mistake my first time doing this race. I tried to save some energy on the initial climb only to get log jammed here, and then again at another long singletrack afterwards.
