Hey guys,
Heading to SB for the weekend. Any advice for trails up there?
I've never been. I've been using Trailforks and MTBProject for ideas.

Top ranked trails on MTBP are
Romero
https://www.mtbproject.com/trail/496099/romero-loop
Little Pine Loop
https://www.mtbproject.com/trail/700404 ... -pine-loop
Jesuita Out and Back
https://www.mtbproject.com/trail/250058 ... t-and-back

I'm sure there are some better options from locals or people in the know. I'm looking for an intermediate ride 10-20 miles, a good workout with great views. Also maybe a shorter one that's a bit easier to take the wife on.

Thanks!

I liked the Camuesa Connector trail. It's intermediate and shorter, on MTB Project. A good easy ride on singletrack and old fire road along the river goes out to the old Quicksilver mine. Not on MTB project but you can find it on internet.
