That meeting at Seabright Brewery was informational... but I didn't see a single person I recognized there. How sad.

You sounded like an intelligent person for a while there buddy then you start broadcasting to the world about how great other illegal trails are in our area. Do us a favor and shut it! Also, you seem to be downplaying what the ranger told you in you account. Shuttling and DH riders/trails are the main reason they are cracking down. I have personally seen idiots of all ages blast out of the bottom of DC into 9 without looking. Every one of them was on a DH rig. When I got my ticket in Dec the ranger told me that was the primary reason for the crackdown. Please think before you type from now on buddy there are a lot more people that read this stuff than you think.I've never ridden Grey Whale, so I'm not too sure. I'm under the impression that Castle Rock is mostly XC/AM type stuff, but I could be wrong.
Fall Creek is an amazing trail that I used to ride about 3 years ago... and haven't ridden since. Hikers and Equestrians are VERY, VERY militant about those trails being ONLY for their purposes, and the last time I made an attempt to ride there, a lady pulled up, wrote my license plate down, and gave me SERIOUS attitude because, in her mind, I was the rider who a few weeks before almost got her daughter thrown off of a horse. Nevermind that horses are 1 ton animals with the mentality of a pissed off toddler. Whatever.
But yes, Fall Creek is AMAZING, and has some seriously fun stuff to it. So that would be fantastic to have Fall Creek open.
Is it a substitute for the UCSC trails? Not entirely. Picture a cross between Magic Carpet, some of the not-so-easy portions of Dead Campers, with some creek riding of Mailboxes. It's a lot of fun, and totally shuttle-able.
Hate to be the "egg thrower" here, but were you at the meeting? Did you hear anything that was said at the meeting by the ranger who is LEADING the crack down on mountain bikers? If so, feel free to speak up.You sounded like an intelligent person for a while there buddy then you start broadcasting to the world about how great other illegal trails are in our area.
