Where in OC to ride a gravel bike?
 

I'm mostly a XC mtb'r and have a few ideas where to ride my new skinny-tired gravel bike (Telegraph Canyon in Chino Hills State Park, Aliso-Wood Canyon Trail in the same-named park, Irvine Regional Park) but would like to know of others. Any other ideas for sort-of-flat or rolling trails (I have 34 x 25 gearing on it and don't mind HABing a bit)? Thanks in advance and happy new year!

O'Neil park in Trabuco Canyon has a few nice trails. Some good climbs on basically fire roads and a flatter trail that goes several miles through the canyon.

34-25 gearing sounds more eastern "rails to trails" I'm in the SGV but most OC gravel is also going to be fire roads and single track.

34-32 country.

How about El Moro Canyon Trail?

Maple Springs Road to the Santiago Peak.

I'll add Weir Canyon loop and of course, Fullerton loop.

LOL, well, it was a budget build. I had the RD and cassette left over from an old 9-spd group laying around. I might need to splurge for something lower and a new chain to go with it. 32 might be beyond the range of my RD though.

Thanks, all. I'll check them out.
