    Singletrack.com’s Jamie Bate and John Chorlton hit the road last week and made stops in Marin County, California up north and in Santa Barbara down south. Along the way we chilled in Marin with Dario Frederick and a few of his Whole Athlete Development Team riders on trails with views of the iconic Mt. Tamalpias as well as with the women of the Luna Pro Team — Katerina Nash, Catharine Pendrel and Georgia Gould. Also, thanks to Wil Matthews at Summit Bicycles in San Rafael…

    Then it was down the coast to sunny Santa Barbara, where the Giant Off-Road Team was prepping for the season. Thanks to Carl Decker, Kelli Emmett, Duncan Riffle, Andrew Neethling and Danny Hart for their time a patience.
