Summary:
Many single track riding with switchbacks to make the climbs easier. The backside is much more technical and is geared toward an advance intermediate or higher skill level. The riding is mostly shaded and has some great views of the bay near the top. I recommend riding here on weekdays when the trails are less populated. Overall, China Camp is has lots of single tracks and can be a fun place to ride for all types of riders.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Tamarancho & Annadel

Summary:
China Camp is a great place to go and have a fun ride. There are roughly two parts - an easy/intermediate part if you choose not to go all the way up and a intermediate/advanced part if you go all the way up and take the back side.

Recommended Route:
I'd take the front side for more speed and fun. Going all the way up can be a bit too gnarly for an XC like me.

Summary:
went once with a few friends and rode a 7 or 8 mile loop. the climbs were mild and the downhill sections were a lot of fun, nothing too technical but just enough to keep you on your toes. definitely not a real grueling ride, but we all really enjoyed it. another thing we noticed was that EVERYONE we rode by was extremely friendly and said hi. going again this weekend to try the longer route. there was also a considerable amount of shady areas, im sure it would be a nice ride for summer.

Summary:
A fun, easy ride. Groomed single tracks. I do agree that the fire roads may be a lot more technically challenging than the single track. Unfortunately we went on a Saturday and found several groups (about 15 people) of riders standing in the middle of trail intersections. Luckily this was just on the lower section, hopefully they continue to be scared off by the upper section. Overall, fast and fun trail, just a lot of inconsiderate people.

Recommended Route:
Really enjoyed the upper portion of Bayview single track.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Camp Tamarancho. Best trail I'd never heard of.
