Places for Newbie Ride
So lately we've had some really great newbie friendly rides at Aliso, Marshal Canyon and Fullerton Loop. What are some places we could do newbie friendly rides? I am not just talking about rides that are easy but rides that will be fun and challenging for those of us who are still on the newer side of things.

Laguna Coast Wilderness Park and El Morro have a number of trails the could be considered "newbie friendly" (mostly fire roads and some singletrack). Plus, there are some more advanced trails for those wanting more challenge/extra-credit.

There was also a newbie friendly ride at Oneill not to long ago either. I agree with the El Morro idea. I have rode there once and had a good time, wasn't extremely hard but still challenging. Only downside is one single track we rode had a few pretty steep parts and the other one seemed to have lots of cactus in the corners.

Yeah, I tried inviting riders to the Flat Landers Laugh-Fest, but no one would show up, I think my mammoth legs have scared everyone off. It could be an alright place to take an infant to ride a tri-cycle, but beginner noobs would snooze through it...
On a serious note, The Seat Sniffer has mentioned Daley Ranch, and I concur with his recommendation... Quote:

There is Sycamore Canyon in Riverside, or like David said Bonelli Park.
