Decent ride. Good if you're short on time (especially travel time). If you follow the route on the map you can get here, it'll be more of a challenge on the climbs than the descent. The climbs can get pretty tough, though. Lots of rocks and loose over hardpack. Beware, however, some changes to the trail structure: From C to D, you'll have to climb the hill instead of turning left, which will lead to to a tight descent and a fireroad that loops around the back of the hill. From M back to the trailhead, you'll have to follow the road, there's no longer a connection from the road to the trail. I'll try to upload a new map after I've gotten all of the other turns right. ;>

It is a great ride. Make it whatever you want. Easy, advanced and test your skills on trails such as Rocky Ridge. The whole park is about 12 miles. This may be approximately 2-3 hours depending on skill level. It is a great little secret because it is never crowded and the horses are not a problem.

This is a great place to ride and a great workout. Excellent for a after work ride. Going up stile ranch trail is a great workout, and then take the rocky ridge up hill for a great technical challenge. After you complete those two trails, stop at the top enjoy the view and take in the great accomplishment.

For fun ride up Rocky Ridge it is all doable. It took me a couple tries before I could make it up everything but I got there so can you. This is good for afterwork or when you have an hour or so to burn

There are some short loops here but my favorite and most nerve-wracking part is Ranch(?) Trail. It's tightly wound, rocky, singletrack switchbacks. The views are nice and there are some steep climbs/descents when you're in the mood. The trails here turn into mud with the consistency of wet modeling clay when it rains so consider yourself warned. They used to hold the Sizzler Classic Race here. Do they still do that? Oh, if you want a warm-up park at the bottom of the hill before the park and ride up the road to feel a little lactic acid build-up.

Santa Teresa Park has a good, rocky technical trails with some nice hill climbs. If you stop to check out the scenery, the views are pretty nice too. But is is very rocky in some portions, but that just makes it that much more fun.
