Any good MTB trails

Those climbs will only make you stronger - when I started mountain biking, I started on a single speed and spent a couple months just riding up this hill near my house. The first month I really never made it to the top without stopping. Eventually, I got in a groove and made it happen. Now that friggin' monster is kind of an afterthought.

Just sayin.

Shell Ridge, Diablo Foothills. I'm an old man, and I can do it.

Briones Regional Park has some good trails. Large variety of climbs, some long and mellow, some short and steep.
