We are the original Ridge Runners Motorcycle Club. Based out of Santa Cruz, California and established in 1965.
Still putting on our annual New Years Day Dual Sport Ride through the Santa Cruz Mountains....
Working with to put on trials events alongside their vintage motocross races when we can make them align....
And working towards putting on some smaller events in the future.
Not sure we can pull off the Ridge Runner 500 or Ridge Runner 250 like like we did back in the day, but if you have some great stories and photos of those epic rides, feel free to send them to us here if youd like us to share them!
Cheers... and Keep Doing It In The Dirt 👊😁👊

Please read this article and Donate to Blue Ribbon Coalition, one of the leading organizations in fighting to preserve fair and balanced access to Public Lands accross the country for all those who recreate in the great outdoors, be it by accessing remote places by dirtbike or 4x4, or hiking or biking.
This isn't just a fight to assure that Prairie City SVRA remains a public recreation area, its a fight to assure that we establish legal precedent to prevent industrial developments like this from stealing away our public lands accross the state and accross the country.
Also.... there is a LINK at the bottom of the article to get DOUBLE ENTRIES in the sweepstakes to win the custom GasGas EX300 + a Riding trip to Moab!!!
California Off-Roaders: Prairie City SVRA is at risk! BlueRibbon Coalition has joined cal4wheel & American Sand Association in legal action to stop a solar development proposal that, as approved, puts one of California’s most important OHV parks at serious and lasting risk.
This isn’t just about one project or one park. It’s about whether designated recreation areas are treated as permanent public commitments — or as negotiable land reserves when industrial development shows up. Find details and how you can help at the link below.

!!! IMPORTANT NOTICE !!!
Unfortunately, we have to postpone the NYDR to SUNDAY JANUARY 11TH due to the week of rain ahead.
As most of you know, this ride has a lot of technical singletrack on private properties. For the safety of the riders, and the preservation of the private properties we cannot run it until things dry out a little.
We will keep everyone informed here, and via email, if there is a need to push out the ride further than Jan. 11th.
Please take the extra time to assure that you and your bike are prepared properly for a slippery, technical, AWESOME dual sport ride!!!
Get yourself some good aggressive dual sport knobbies installed if you have not already!!!
We hope you all have a fantastic new year and look forward to seeing you on the 11th!!!
