The mighty oak forests of China Camp stand watch over some of the most spine-tingling single track to ever raise dust beneath a mountain bike. Located squarely on the Bay, this state park plays host to a 10-mile round-trip ride with lunch on the beach as a bonus — right at the very spot where the original Chinese shrimp fisherman, who gave the park its name, first settled the area long ago. China Camp is a blast to ride through, with only a few steep hills on the twisty, narrow trail. But it’ll definitely challenge a rider’s handling skills and lungs.

The journey is as scenic as the destination at Point Pinole Regional Shoreline, a 2,315-acre parkland right next to densely populated Pinole, Richmond, and San Pablo. Trails lead through breezy meadows with wildflowers in season, through aromatic eucalyptus woods, or along bluffs and beaches on San Pablo Bay. There are beautiful views of Mt. Tamalpais, the Marin shoreline, and San Pablo Bay with its sailboat and shipping traffic. This is the easiest trail that we ride, perfect for beginning to intermediate riders of all ages. Level / even dirt trail, loop ride.

Starting at Ocean Beach in San Francisco, the trail meanders through the trees ducking in behind the old windmill passing the dog park, rose garden, disc golf course, redwoods, DeYoung Museum on the way to Hippy Hill (famous hippy hangout, sunspot) for lunch taking in a few throwback 1960s wannabees donning their tie-dye t-shirts and hula hoops. The trail offers 90% single and double-track winding through the Park’s grandiose vegetation and lesser known backwoods hiking and biking trails. With the initial climb from the beach taking about 1 hour on average to the lunch point – the return is sure to offer weary riders plenty of fun as the entire trip back to the van is all downhill and sure to bring the ear-to-ear smiles.

This three-mile roundtrip, fire road cruise through part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area in the Marin Headlands is the easiest trail we ride; but it also just might be the prettiest. Just one steep hill is all that stands between riders and jaw-dropping views of the Pacific Ocean. For a group with riders of mixed skills, Tennessee Valley offers additional trails to challenge the stronger riders.
