Bay Area mountain biking
I came across this website when looking for trails. It's quite well-organized: by region, by technical difficulty, etc. Single track trails are really not my type but I do enjoy riding double tracks/fire roads/gravel trails. I'm looking forward to riding some, like this one at the El Corte de Madera Creek (the easy option) or this one in San Jose.

Sunset to San Bruno Mountain State Park
灣區單車路線我對半島及南灣那些比較熟悉,至於由三藩市出發的,金門公園北上金門橋,或者東往Ferry building, 也踩過幾次;記得以前刨單車路線指南介紹過聖般奴山州立公園,summit可遠望北灣景色,今天決定由金門公園南下試踩,路線其實不複雜:由Ocean beach海傍Great Highway到Lake Merced這一段以前也用摺車踩過多次,入35公路倒是第一次,這段35和半島那段一樣車多且快,不過路肩很闊,倒也覺安全,至Westridge Ave, 轉右即U-turn便等同安全轉左,然後右轉Mayfair,左轉Westmoor, 基本上是一條路穿越Daly City, 這一段相當繁忙,尤其是橫跨280那幾個街口,真要打起十二分精神!直至望見山腳即開始上山,這一段不太斜卻頗長,踩一會園口就在左面,閘口指示牌教轉右行Summit road,一條路一英里多一點可上到1236尺的頂峰,雖然不如Old La Honda般長及斜,也算頗有挑戰性。
落山倒更覺驚險,皆因今天風極大,路又多potholes, 可說一步一驚心,真是印證上山容易下山難!回程時發現經過的高球場是鼎鼎大名的Olympic club!早幾年US Open才在那裡舉行過,上鋼琴課開車經過多次竟也從未發現過,做司機就是如此。
特別鳴謝以下網站提供之參考路線:7x7, RideWithGPS
