Anyone know of some local mountain biking trails around the Glendora, Covina, West Covina, Duarte, Arcadia area? Any input or direction for where to look would be great.

Marshall Canyon is a good one. Pretty technical, so not for beginners (although that was where I was taken on my first try), but gorgeous. It also has a an impressive single track (that I walked down). I couldn't tell you how to get there but it is in the general area of all you list above.

Bonelli Park is near Glendora. A lot of locals hit Turnbull Canyon in Whittier. You can access it off seventh from the 60 or Beverly Blvd in Whittier. Fullerton loop is popular as is Chino Hills. In fact, there is a benefit Saturday morning for Tara Llanes on the Fullerton Loop...

Fullerton, CA - November 14, 2007 - - Did you hear that Tara Llanes moved her left leg yesterday? For those who don't know, Mountain Bike legend and sweetheart Tara Llanes was injured in a racing accident at the beginning of September, resulting in what is hoped to be a temporary paralysis. A fund has been set up to help in her rehabilitation, and this year's Tour de Tryptophan is a benefit for the Tara Llanes Road to Recovery Fund. From high-noon on Friday the 23rd of November until high-noon on Saturday, riders from far and wide will be donating to the cause and doing fun laps on the legendary Fullerton Loop in Fullerton, California.

Fourth Annual Tour de Tryptophan Benefit Ride

The Fullerton Loop is an 11-mile network of suburban trails that pass through city parks, horse trails, hidden pathways and creekside wilderness. Originally pieced together by Richard Cunningham of Mantis Bikes and Mountain Bike Action fame in 1983, hundreds of people ride and train on the famed loop every week.
One of the people that has graced the loop is the inimatable Tara Llanes, and many riders are getting stoked to help her cause this Thanksgiving weekend.

T-Shirts, Silent Auction and Raffle

The ride will start and end at the Brea Dam Park, which is approximately 1 mile north of Chapman Avenue at 1700 North Harbor Boulevard in Fullerton. You can show up at any time to donate $40 and receive the Conmemorativo T-Shirt. When the original order of shirts runs out, we will print more as needed.
If you cannot attend and want a shirt, send a check for $40 made out to Tara Llanes to: Tour de Tara, 414 N. California St., Orange, CA 92866 before Thanksgiving, please state shirt size and quantity.
