Los Robles Trail from Potrero
Description: This is a great semi-loop ride with lots of singletrack and switchbacks for your biking enjoyment. It begins with a fun singletrack that starts at the Sycamore Canyon parking area and winds over to the Los Robles Trailhead. Continue on this fun up and down singletrack until you get to the picnic table. There are two BIG hills to conquer (or most likely walk) along the way. Then it’s time to catch some thrills as you make your way down the Rosewood Singletrack to Lynn Road. After a short jaunt on the pavement it's onto dirt again. This portion of the trail has a few up and downs. After doing the whoop-do-doo trail, climb up Space Mountain and continue along the Los Robles Trail all the way back to the start.
