Load up on coffee, blast up Tunnel Road, slither on Skyline Blvd., then stick your hands in the dirt at Westridge Trail via Skyline Staging Area. 

Follow the flowy slightly uphill path on the side of the mountain. Eventually, you’ll top out at the Redwood Bowl. Take a sip of water, and then start your first fun descent. 

You’ll slide down Graham Trail, which transitions to Dunn Trail, and then if you haven’t blown all the turns because you are having so much fun, keep going downhill on Monteiro Trail. Take a rest, and then you’ll start pedaling up Redwood Road to the next dirt segment.

You’ll pedal uphill on Dunn Trail, which will snake up until a point that will converge back onto a paved Skyline Rd. Continue up to a crest, and then prepare for another excellent descent.

Big Trees Trail is borderline mountain biking, but it’s just smooth enough on gravel tires. Enjoy the send! The path will take you to another larger field and a trail aptly called Sunset Trail, which will take you out of Joaquin Miller Park and back on your descent (lightning speed) down to Oakland and to your ending restaurant.
