I can live anywhere I want, for this consulting gig, ideally in the SF/East Bay area, but not strictly so. I'm thinking about taking it, given the fact that I'm currently in Seattle and Seattle sucks(unless you dig rain, clouds, and morose unfriendly people).
Really like to find a small, quiet, laid back, unfashionable town/neighborhood to live, work and squeeze in as much single track as possible....when I'm not working. Oakland? Auburn? Somewhere in between?
Ride off my doortstep onto some good singletrack. Possible in northern California??
I AM interested in access to fast, flowy, challenging, amazing singletrack.
I race CAT 1 XC and have done most of my riding in Texas. So, I'm sure your California trails will rock my world.
I'm NOT a full body armor, full faced helmet downhiller, either. To chicken for that!
Anybody have suggestions for good towns and good trails?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts/suggestions/ideas!
Top five trails that fit description above?
