As the name suggests, a rocky trail with gradual increases in technical sections as you ascend. A gruel to go up, it more than makes up for itself as you bounce back to the bottom. Can be linked up with nearby trails to avoid the rocks on your way up/down (steep fire-road instead) -- but where's the fun in that? Full suspension highly recommended.

I recently got back into mountain biking after a 25 year layoff. I'm 50 now and my doctor recommended exercising to reduce my colesterol and drop some lbs. Santa Teresa Park is close by my home, so I do about half my riding there. I split my riding between paved bike path and single track. I ride a 1980s vintage Miyata Ridge Runner with no suspension. I do Rocky Ridge and Stiles Ranch with no problem. The trail is not too long, but fun and has some challenges. You're either climbing or descending the steep hills in this area. My biggest challenge is traction while climbing the loose gravel, so I'm sure some suspension would help. I'm looking forward to a new 29er next year that will only cost an arm. Any recommendations?
