Where to take the newbs

[rcmtb]

I plan on taking a group of my friends mountain biking.
All of them have either raced bmx or done some kind of bmx park or dj so they all are good bike bike riders and just need to make the transition to mtb. I need some ideas of places in the inland empire to take them that is fairly easy but fun. I don't want to kill them but i want them to have fun and do it again. So where should I take them.
Thanks in advance

Sycamore Canyon in Riverside is good. No long, steep fireroad climbs. Plenty of fast singletrack and play areas.

Hulda Crooks park in Loma Linda is a good place.

Up mountain view south of the 10 fwy all the way until it ends.

There are fire roads, single track, lots of jumps, and steep climbs if you want them. There is something for just about any skill level.

Bonelli Park.


Marshall Canyon in La Verne would be a good choice as well in my opinion

This time of the year by far Santa Rosa Plateau, in Muiretta. Huge meadows, big oaks and sycamores, green grass and over 37 varieties of blooming wildflowers. There is not a easier to ride well marked trail system around....most of the place is nearly flat.

Couple of pics from the weekend.

That looks like an excellent place to take my 10 yr old daughter to get her riding on some dirt. Thanks for the link.:steppie:
