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.
Shoot me a PM, I can help you try and get a bike.

I want to learn about new trails, my riding buddy is in San Diego for summer

One of my favorite single tracks is at Fremont older.. My friends and I call it disney land because its a bit of everything. Easy to technical, long to sharp turns and the track it self goes on for about 0.5 miles into the base of the valley.

Once this killer heat passes, let's hit it up.

Well depending on the snowfall this year, I will either be riding a lot of MTB or not touching it for a very long time.

I wish... practically broke, but I would most certainly appreciate any way I can cheaply fix my bike's issues (rear derailleur is starting to get out of tune, and front derailleur on a totally-frayed cable).

Fremont Older is the kind of place to go to for some quick singletrack riding IMO.

Yea, maybe someone could teach how to maintain my bike. Issue is ive been on MTBR and read almost everything on tuning the derailleurs, but Never have i gotten it right even after hours of work

Yes, exactly why its fun! (haven't gone anywhere else though )

This is the scenic, easygoing singletrack I was talking about. Great fun, just follow the singletrack on the cliff's edge

Trial and error my friend! The way I learned was riding dirt bikes(track/trails) for 9 years. It doesn't come to everyone!
