Well, I live in ssf, ca and I can pretty much drive in any direction for trails. I have trails where I live in fact. I want trails close to where Im going to be. From searching all I've found is some trail around the bay, which is mostly paved and smooth so... oh well.

We'd probably have to make like a day trip out of it. Like a really long day ride would be awesome.

Say the mid point for everyone is san francisco. Im 10 minutes away. Gmoney is about an hour. You are over 2 hours. Siu is probably like 30 minutes. We just need to find a trail system that is challenging and not all smooth crap, that will suit us for almost a day.

Just ride all the way up Alpine Road and enjoy the trails of the Montebello Open Space Preserve.
