Note: I did this ride in back in late July. I am making an effort to semi-catch up on the summer adventures<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Lost Sierras area of NorCal is renowned for its killer trails with stunning views. Your average trail out there is typically a blue trail with some black diamond bits here and there. For the occasional rider, novice, beginner or someone just not into technical terrain, most of these trails can be a bit much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lake Davis trail just north of Portola is an awesome green trail that is nearly guaranteed to not get you cross threaded with significant other. The elevation change is minimal and none of the climbs are long. <\/p>\n\n\n

The trail is currently 7 miles long along the eastern side of the lake so it a nice 14 mile out-and-back. I’m not a gravel bike guys but looping around the lake on the mostly dirt roads is a thing. It would be incredibly awesome to see the singletrack segments expanded. So much potential out here<\/p>\n\n\n
