Summary:
Pebble Beach used to be my stomping grounds when I was living at home. Once upon a time, Pebble Beach was open to Mountain Bikers - no more. Pebble Beach changed ownership and the new owners must not have wanted the liability risk, so they started posting "no bikes" signs all over the place. Of course, that doesn't mean that you can't ride out there, but do so at your own risk - the park rangers will go after you, and some of the locals have turned hostile since the "no bikes" signs went up. (Amazing how they never seemed to mind before...) I had developed a few 1.5-2 hour loops (ridden at my base training pace) that included a variety of paved roads, fire roads, single track, golf course rough, and people's back yards. I had to be creative. Some of the trails are shared with the Equestrian center there in Pebble Beach, so you will occasionally encounter horses, as well as areas that have been totally torn up by the horses. You can generally ride out there in all sorts of weather, the trails hold up relatively well when wet. My route basically had trails that ran from the top of Pebble Beach down almost all the way to the Ocean and then back up, skirting alongside Poppy Hills, Spy Glass, and the MPCC golf courses. You can enter Pebble Beach from just about anywhere you want - but the best places are probably along Holman Highway (HWY68) which connects Monterey to Pacific Grove. To close, some of the trails are great fun ("woodchip" is still one of my all time favorites), and the scenery is obviously very nice, but the bottom line is that there several better places to ride in the Monterey-Salinas area that actually invite you to ride there.

Recommended Route:
Hard to describe. You will just need to venture around and explore. Watch out for the Pebble Beach rangers and stuffy anti-biker residents.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
In order of preference: Fort Ord (home of the Sea Otter Classic), Toro Park (across HWY 68 from Fort Ord), "Top of the World" in Carmel Highlands (private property - but they have never hassled me), Old Coast Road in Big Sur, starting at Bixby Bridge.

Summary:
Me and all my friends call it White Mountain. We also name all the trails. It is illegal to bike their and if your riding and the rangers see you you better take off. If they catch you they take away your bike and give you a $200 ticket. I have been chased.

Recommended Route:
I take #5 carmel rancho bus and it drops you off at the top of the trails.

Summary:
This place is great for downhill and singletrack. The terrain varies a lot from dirt jumps to pits of mud in the same trail. If you havn't gone yet, it is neccesary to get there soon.

Summary:
These trails are very good for down hill. They are techinnically but fun. They were built by bored downriders. Only people who have very good control of there bike in vereous terrain should ride this. Also make sure your bike has strong rims. I have seen rims bent in half on these trails.

Recommended Route:
Start inside the Pebble Beach gates at the bottom of El Bosque and go left. You will see a very steep trail on the right go down it but watch out for the turns and the drop offs. Keep going straight on the trail until you get to a fire road that looks over the old quarry, then go left down the hill until you get to a paved road. Now you're at the end of teh trail.
