Default Trails in Ojai?

Anyone know if there's any good riding around Ojai? I like to bust up there once or twice a year to camp out and do some nice road rides. I'd love to get on the mtn bike up there too. It's a stunning area, there's gotta be decent riding.

(1) Gridley (check FS maps)
(2) Sisar Canyon to Nordhoff ridge, right, down White Ledge singletrack.

Or turn left for longer ride to descend Gridley, connect on road.

(3) Sulphur Mountain for fireroad.

I've ridden there a couple times. Most of the time we'll do an out and back on Gridley trail. There are ways of doing it as part of a loop also. Another trail I did a long time ago was Lion cyn. It was not in good shape so we looped back on pavement.

Long climb with an easy grade. From the top you have a great view from an old fire lookout tower.

I've only done Gridley once, but I loved it. About 6 years ago, so I can't give you any trail conditions, but a very scenic ride as I remember.
