Short ride, long ride? Hard ride, mellow ride? Give us some hints, then we can tell you "were to go", so to speak.....gacck said:

Most of them
I did it yesterday and the trails were in great shape. Only a puddle here and there.
Down Channel drive, up Richardson and South Burma, down Lawndale, up Schultz and Ridge, back down South Burma, half way down North Burma and across Live Oak, then down Rough Go and Cobblestone. That's about 25 miles with 3,400 ft. of climbing. When you finish do the bonus loop by going back up Richardson and all the way back down North Burma to the singletrack along Channel Drive. That adds about another 5-6 miles and 500 ft. of climbing. Map on my site.gacck said:

You bet. Actually not at technical as I remember, but then I was riding it back befores Steves trail was closed to mountain bikes and that was the killer technical climb. Took my 19 yo son up there today and he only about 3 spots he had to clip out for in the climbs...no falls for either of us...we did about 22 miles using a modified version of Steven Wolfs recommended route. Just as fun as I remember though. About an hour and 15 minute drive for us each way. Here is a screen capture from Google Earth...I downloaded my GPS data...gotta love technology.cohenfive said:

Not sure about parking @ Channel (I got ripped off bigtimefgiraffe said:
), I'd head farther down to the end & pay the $4 to have Ranger Bob guard your ride :Down Channel drive, up Richardson, up South Burma and down to Buick Meadows, left at bench on Marsh, continue on Marsh, right on Ridge, left at Marsh down to Canyon, right on Canyon, go left at the next intersection which will take you to the dam for rest/social time, go clockwise on Lake Trail, left on Louis, left on North Burma, left at Live Oak, right on Rough Go, right on Orchard Trail, left at Orchard Loop, left back on Orchard Trail, right on Cobblestone and down to Channel. If you parked there your done, if not, head right down Channel Dr. and just past the Ranger Station (green gate) look to your right for the single track. That will meander along Channel, pop out on to the pavement for awhile, then look for it again to finish back to the parking lot.
