Video: A ride through a SoCal trail.
Hey ya'll, here's a 15 minute taste of a SoCal trail. Very fun. I'm still slow, and am overly cautious going downhill, but I'm a strong climber. Go figure it's the complete opposite on my road bike, (on the descending part).

Before it turns into the desert. We turned back here due to time constraints and plans.
Noble Canyon is considered to be one of the best trails around Southern California. It is technically difficult with narrow single track, gnarly rocks and tight switchbacks. This ride takes you through three distinct ecosystems. You start out in alpine meadows and oak trees that transitions into typical Southern California chaparral and finally into the arid desert climate near the Anza-Borrego desert. At some times of the year you can start the ride will plenty of snow on the trail and by the end of the ride be in 85 degree desert heat. This is normally considered an advanced ride. This ride will be fun for intermediate riders but you will most likely find yourself doing some walking over and down obstacles.
