The Irish Hills Natural Reserve is located right outside of downtown SLO. It offers up about 8-10 miles of rocky, fast rolling single track. The loop is pretty easy to follow especially starting from where I did, linking onto King trail and working counter clockwise. I parked off Madonna road on DeVaul Ranch Dr, it's pretty easy to locate with plenty of parking options near a small park and the trail head. The Ocean View trails are obviously the crown jewel of the trek but all the trails were fun and challenging. In my opinion an intermediate rider could clean all these trails, the black ratings might be a tad too much (IMO) the loop was 8 miles with around 1,200 feet of climbing, definitely do able. Some of the climbs will test your cardio and technical riding capabilities but I didn’t find anything too extreme here. Not a ton of shade so beware on warm days, drink plenty of water. If you’re interested in riding here do yourself a favor and go check it out! Now get outside and ride your damn bike!
