This is my favorite local trail, close enough that I can ride my MTB to it, which is a huge bonus. I like taking the connector to Almaden Mine Hill and climbing the grade there, excellent views and workout!
I ride this trail Wed mornings, early. I follow your path except at "Right to Bald Mountain and back" I go straight there. Out to the road and then to Canada del oro. Up Longwall canyon and then back down to San Vicente. About 26 miles and one of the funnest singletrack descents around. I ride a 90's vintage Ti hardtail. Great bike for this trail.
