Maybe we could use my Outback's old all-weather cargo mat to prevent damage between the two?

 

Sure, that might work

 

Try Sawyer Camp Trail. It's all paved, not too hilly (not unless you go all the way to the top on the Millbrae end). Start at Crystal Springs, turn around by the bridge (where the San Andreas fault line marker is) then return. That's around 11 miles. I try to go there every weekday afternoon.

See, it's super mellow!

 

I would be down for rides, mtb road or whatever. Prefer mtb. Weekdays are good here and can host some Santa Cruz trailin'. Point Montara is another great ride near many of you...

 

Looks like a neat trail, will check it out

LOL, thats mellow???

those huge rocks on trails=death wish for me.

 

Haha yeah it's mellow to me! Look how slow they're going, you can go at any pace you want!

 

DO WANT

You have a hardtail too? Or just never really messed with that kind of stuff?

Yeah, they're going a little slow but regardless of speed, looks fun

 

Yeah, they are slow at some sections haha. It's a blast. You can ride anything down there, just go as you wish.

I ride a hard tail.

 

Yea Just the temptation builds up from others which leads to stupid moves.
I have a full suspension bike, but never done anything technical like that. Usually more of a downhill/single track kinda rider.

 

Hard tail all day! haha jk I am looking at getting either a DH or FR bike, but rather save for my car haha. Even though I get killer deals.. 65% anything last year.

 

Got to admit, Hardtails are so much more fun, but after a good days use... Never again hardtail..... LOL

 

Looks like a great trail but those rocks are not my cup of tea. And yeah, I'd probably do it slow.

 

Bikes and suspension all comes down to rider, I ride downhill stuff on my HT but I would rather not. haha. Just have to think economically with school/car/snowboarding. You can find decent, cheap FS on CL. Depends on if you are looking for an XC or FR/DH.

If you have ridden before you will be fine, you can choose your lines. Maybe I underestimate it?

 

I want a full-suspension too, but they're so pricey that I can't quite afford one, which is why I'm stuck with my POS hardtail (trust me, it started out as a POS, Acera componentry)

So I'm stuck with my hardtail for now. At least I have Shimano Deore components now. Good enough for anything I throw at it.


As for trail preference, dat singletrack. There's some casual, scenic beachside singletrack around the coastline where California State Route 92 and California State Route 1 meet up.
