N. California by Gilroy/San Jose/Fremont area

Hi I ride mtb alot and recently me and my girlfriend bought a tandem. Do you guys know a place where we can go riding that have a nice scenery? I don't like to ride on the street next to the cars so a good long stretch flat surface (maybe park) would be a good spot for riding. Anyone know a good place? O yeah, with lots of shade from the trees would be nice too :)!

Thanks!

In Fremont, there is the Alameda Creek trail, which is a nice straight 12 mile bike path. Incorporate this ride with the adjacent Coyote Hills trail, you have a nice flat 28 mile ride away from cars.

The Coyote Creek Trail starts at Hellyer Park in San Jose and runs 20 (?) miles to Morgan Hill. It's a paved, two-lane bike/mutliuse trail.
