Default RR: Rockville Hills Park (NorCal)

Tucked just outside the Napa Valley is Rockville, a little park that I discovered is packed FULL of fun and technically challenging trails. Had loads of fun riding it solo today, should be more fun if I can get my buddy to tag along next time....





Yup, still FAT.

Awesome!
I grew up in Cordelia, 3miles away.
Rockville got me hooked on mountain biking when I first started out in the late 80's. Awesome fun trails right in your back yard like whiting ranch and aliso.

I stopped in Cordelia for lunch on the way home (I live about 45 mins away...)

So that's how you spell it.

I love the riding up NorCal way. Really beautiful there. This post needs more pix.

Whats the mileage and altitude gain for that ride and others like it?

Agreed.

Also, all of his rides have a ton of climbing and little mileage!

9mi, 1948'

Longest ride I've done since starting to ride more than once every couple months is 14mi, 2800', but I tend to do around 10-12 miles and 2500' most of my rides. Today was a little short on mileage and climbing since I was exploring, taking pics, checking the map...
