Description: This area has two "main" loops. You decide what type of ride you are looking for...The North Loop (On Central Ave.) starts as a step climb on both start/finishes. Both directions offer some quick technical section with some small steam crossings. This Northern Loops is only about 5 miles, but you'll spend about 70% climbing. The Southern Loop Ride (Off Sycamore Canyon) is a bit flatter and offers everything from some technical single track riding to "fire road" sections. There are several short, steep (10% grades) that will challenge you. There are several options to eek out your own loop. I start from behind the new Big 5 warehouse and stay on the east side of the Arroyo. You will have to exit the trail and ride to the "new" warehouse parking lot to pick up the Western Side of the trail. From there, there are many great single tracks and fire roads to keep you busy for a few hours exploring. Best I've found in Riverside...

This is one of the hidden gems in the Inland Empire. There are over 20 miles of technical and flowy single track laid out in over 400 acres of land. Only bother, not a lot of trees and in the summer it can be sweltering.

Today was my first time out in this area and I had a blast. We found all kinds of stuff to ride from narrow single track to some pretty fun downhill runs. We also found a sweat little short course run with all kinds of fun jumps and steep, sharp berms. All in all a nice place to ride where you can pick and choose whatever level of terrain you want to shred.
Similar Trail: THE M TRAIL!

Great trail(s) for all riders. There are some nice boulder areas for advanced riders, or trails easy enough for all riders. I never really took a particular route, just took whatever route looked fun. Also, a great place to develop mountain biking skills for beginners. You can come back here again and again, and take multiple routes where the difficulty varies. For Parking: Jenson USA has a "will call" center very close to the trail. If you exit from the 215 S at Eastridge (right before Alessandro) and take a right, go for about half a mile, and jenson will be on your left. They allow mountain bikers to use their parking lot since it brings them good business. They also run MTB groups through I believe the 1st Wednesday of every month.

Similar Trail: The M trail for more experienced riders (good for beginners too, but some sketchy areas where you could walk your bike).
