What we do is bring 2 cars and park 1 in town and then take the other up to one of the trails. this way the ride is mostly downhill which makes it a lot of fun. The route we take is about 6 miles. a lot of single track through catus bushes. The trail is loose gravel which can make it a little slippery. The trails are also well marked. The only bad part is that in the summer it can get really hot, so go early. On this particular day the high was going to be over 108, so we started around 6:30am when it was about 85.
