Welcome to STR. There is a lot of information already posted regarding shoes and pedals. I would check out the sticky threads and use the search function to get the most info.

Welcome to STR... I grew up in baldwin park off merced and elwyn, close to bursch elementary but live in Anaheim Hills now. Anyway where do you rode ride out there? santa fe dam? You should take your mtb to marshall canyon or bonelli park to get some good riding but if u want to travel head on over to OC for some fun trails too.
ya done both mostly marshal bonelli i did like twice with a group came down that hill full of rocks and stuff was pretty wild got to be pretty careful on that one at least for me hahaha
