Cross Country Rider Summary:
This is kind of my go-to easy ride I like to do about once a week to stay in shape. Well, it's my easy ride when I stay on the east side of the ridge. If you connect the backside to the ride, it turns into a fairly technical ride and a hell of a climb back out. And by the way, I want to mention because of a lot of peoples' kind of sketchy talk about riding the backside on this website, that I took a bad fall a couple of weeks ago and was walking back up the fire trail to the Nike site when the local law enforcement guy drove up in his big pickup. He tried to help me out as I was pretty banged up and I just asked him outright if it was cool to ride the area. He told me directly that unless there's signs posted stating "no riding" then it's all legal and legit and he's the local San Rafael PD officer who's in charge of patrolling that area. So, don't be afraid of hitting up the backside because it turns China Camp into a completely different experience. Recommended Route:
Depends on how much time you got and how much effort you want to put in. Other recommended trails in the same area:
Tamarancho.

Cross Country Rider Summary:
Loose rocks, rolling single track, no steep climb just gradual, ruts and loose rock when descending.
Make sure to bring extra tube for pinch flats. I saw two riders that had pinch flat over the weekend. Also, watchout for other riders and hikers. Other recommended trails in the same area:
Skeggs Point.

Cross Country Rider Summary:
China Camp has almost everything you could want from a local trail network. I've been riding there for almost a year, 2-4 times a week and it just doesn't get boring! you can ride nice flowing single track around the whole park or you can ride the backside of the park and find some truely challenging drops and trails. For intermidiate riders stay clear of the front side on the weekends you will get frustrated!
As for the ratings:
Technical difficulty you can ride anything from a 1 - 4 and the same goes for areobic difficulty. This is one of the reasons I love this place you can choose the type of ride you want from a quick workout ride to challenging all mountain ride with steep decents an fun drops. Recommended Route:
Hitler is always fun (just watch out for the baby heads) J.T. Howell, Q4, Drop ins at nike site, most small hidden trails Other recommended trails in the same area:
tamerancho, Demo Froest Santa Cruz

Cross Country Rider Summary:
I love this trail. There's lots of single track with some technical sections, but also some smooth switchbacks which are fun and easy to climb on. Overall, I had a great time on this trail. Recommended Route:
Just take the standard route which most people ride.
