Russian Ridge and Coal Creek are prime examples of an "All
Around" mountain biking exrtavaganza. There are miles and miles
of single track for both beginner, intermediate, and upper intermediate
riders. Get out there, ride them, and enjoy the beautiful views of the Santa
Cruz Mountain Range.
Take a Ride up to Borel Hill and look North to Marin County's Mount
Tamalpaise. You will actually be looking down at it. Borel Hill is about
80 ft. higher than Mt. Tam.
Remember that some of these trails connect with other trails in Montebello
OSP, and Skyline Ridge OSP. So if you desire, a full day of riding is a
definite possibility.
