A couple loops of Bootcamp and Step It Up, and make sure to take all the technical obstacle side routes. I get huffing and puffing on a lap of Movin' On, and that trail is only a little over a mile!
Socal doesn't really have MTB parks, people too worried about lawsuits and stuff I guess. This is my "park", normal loops are about 8-10miles, or 80-90 mins and 1500-1800ft of climbing. Downhills are pretty flowy and fun. I'm out there 2-3 days a week, its a nice break up from the road and looking at painted lines.
