Thanks everyone for the good input so far. I like having more options open to me as I wander around the region, and hope this thread is a good resource for others as well.
Even though the title says rail trails, I am glad some showed flexibility. I do like any trail with the characteristics of a rail trail... relatively flat, relatively smooth and few (if any) road crossings.
I must have been on the East Bay trail on a relatively good day, and I must have accidentally picked the best part of the trail, because my short ride there was wonderful a few years ago. Maybe the people riding on trails in a style better suited for the road is part of why I like out of the way trails.
