Thank you TOSC Andrew for this. Helpful. As a rider, I found the following information helpful; 1. Your notation of the incline/elevation change. 2. predominant wind typical behavior 3. Your notation of street crossings on the trails. Looking forward to learning more from you about the remaining San Diego County paths as well. - Bill

I ride Walnut Trail often for recreation, usually from the Harvard end but I have gone the other way. One note, if you're going down the connector to Sand Canyon take great care at the bottom. The bike lane on that part of Sand Canyon is narrow and the traffic is moving fast. I usually turn on the sidewalk and transition to the bike lane down Sand Canyon a bit where it's wider. One of my favorite rides is Newport Back Bay to San Diego Creek, turn off San Diego Creek on Peters Canyon then turn on to Hicks Canyon to the end at Portola, right on Portola a bit to Jeffrey Open Space, down Jeffrey Open Space to the end at Cypress Gardens, left turn on Cypress Gardens to the end at Sand Canyon (nice shade on a warm day). Sand Canyon a bit to Walnut Trail, Walnut Trail to Harvard then Harvard back down to San Diego Creek then down to Back Bay. Makes for a 30+ mile ride. May hit head winds southwestbound on San Diego Creek late mornings through the rest of the day. A loop around Back Bay adds around 10 miles. Thanks for the great videos.

Thank you for detailing your route! This is helpful additional information. It’s really amazing the different combination of routes you can take across Irvine. It’s very easy to chain 3 or 4 separate class I paths together and complete a full loop essentially across upper, central or lower Irvine. That’s why I think the city is the most friendly cycling city across southern cal. Thanks for watching John!

@djkim1019 2 года назад

Thanks for this very well-made guide. It would be even more helpful if future guides could include the entire route in the map (or Strava route?).

@TrailsofCalifornia 2 года назад

I can work on that! Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi, Please would you do a video of beginner rider bike paths anywhere in SoCal, (I'm serious, we will drive to ride) . Ones that are level, safe, and have no traffic interaction. I live in LA and have found my only options are streets that have bike lanes but I still have to navigate traffic eek!, the beach bike path where people/tourists are a problem, or hill areas like Griffith park, ugh. I have had this conversation with many friends who have bikes but don't know where to ride. I have reached out to bike stores (no clue), meetup (they pace riding on streets), or bike clubs (I was told empty parking lots are good for beginners to ride around). I have a hybrid, friends have cruisers and street bikes. Thanks Zandra

@TrailsofCalifornia 2 года назад

Hello Zandra! Thanks for the suggestion! I could definitely do a video targeting beginner riders. You said you live in LA and are willing to travel so I’d recommend you check out my “Top 10 Orange County” list for some ideas. It’s available on the channel right now and I think every example in that video would be a good fit for you! Check out the mountains to sea trail, San Diego creek (irvine) or the Santa Ana River trail. They are all 100% off street, lengthy and have very few hills. Perfect for your hybrid and cruiser bikes! As far as LA goes, check out the San Gabriel River trail, Los Angeles River trail (Long Beach) or the Rio Hondo bike path!

@TrailsofCalifornia 2 года назад

One last suggestion, many public parks have bike paths that you could use for a really easy day out. For example, take your bikes out to lake balboa in Van Nuys!
