Welcome to TrailRoller.com, the source of useful information about mountain biking trails in Santa Clara, San Mateo and Santa Cruz counties in Northern California. Take a look around. For each of the locations I have a description, a map and pictures that give you a sense of what is available at each rdie. Since I have been riding for a while, I have been able to cover most of the accessible trails in the area. There are also a variety of individual ride descriptions, photo galleries, elevation profiles, ride recommendations and some other links you may find useful.
I have been riding consistently and year-round for several years. My current totals are:
| 14,218 miles | 2,271,000 feet ascent (430 miles) |
Check out the Locations pages for more details about the places I have ridden, the maps and all the other interesting bits. The Consolidated Trail Map page has the whole list and a link to a Google Earth view of all of the trails. The Google Earth map is also useful for getting your bearings relative to other landmarks (cities, highways, etc.) and gives you a sense of the climbs and descents in a visual way. Check it out!
Please don't forget to leave a note in my guestbook.
Recent Rides
Here are some of the more recent pictures and ride reports that you might find interesting. I don't write about every ride, but if there is something interesting I might write about it. Of course, "interesting" varies a lot. It might be a mood or a view, whining, being attacked by a suicide squirrel or just a fun ride. Generally, the pictures (fair) are better than the writing (weak), but I might do better with some encouragement.
The number of rides I get in vary depending on the weather, commitments at work or at home and a bunch of other factors. My more recent rides include:

San Francisco - Tiburon Road Ride
I headed up to San Francisco for a ride across the Golden Gate Bridge and Sausalito over to Tiburn. This was a very nice change of pace. See the SF - Tiburon report for more details

Sinkhole de Mayo
It is going to be a long, hot summer. It is only May 5 (Cinquo de Mayo) and already the trails are dried and cracked at Harvey Bear.

Panorama Ride
Rather than the usual ride to the top of Mission Peak, I decided to explore the Panorama Trail just to try something new. I always like to add new trails to my consolidated trail map.
