Although there has been little word from the developer, it seems that the Aptos Village Redevelopment project will be moving forward in 2015. Because of this, the world-famous Aptos Post Office Jumps is seeking a new location, as the jumps are slated to be officially closed on February 17.
The search for a new location is being led by the Mountain Bikers of Santa Cruz, who have created a new web site, postofficejumps.org, to help coordinate the search.
The ideal site will comprise of 1-2 acres of gently sloping land, with easy access and some space for vehicle parking. If the site were large enough, beginner and intermediate jump lines could be included, and perhaps a pump track for very young children.
Finding a replacement site that meets this criteria will be very challenging in land-starved Santa Cruz county, and will likely require the cooperation of neighbors, property owners, and several county and/or city government agencies. If you can help in any way, please send an email to sendit@postofficejumps.org.
