Top 3 Intermediate Mountain Bike Trails in San Diego 4K

[@TacticalTrash.]

Me and a buddy discovered rights field looking for trails for our RC crawlers, it quickly became one of my favorite morning rides on my mtb because it was close to my home at the time and I could hit a few laps before heading to work.

[@MTBTrailReview]

It's such a great spot for the crawlers, too!

[@yaboiderek24]

I have to agree, Los Gatos is a great trail. Its my favorite trail even on my BMX Bike. Not too rocky and not too flat. Perfect for BMX, MTB, XC, and E Bikes. Great Video!

[@MTBTrailReview]

Thanks! I bet it's an adventure on a BMX bike.

[@homeskillet64]

Aww man, I love your son's video intro!

[@MTBTrailReview]

Thank you! He really wanted to be in the video.

[@Cfass1]

I finally made it out of eticket without having to get off the bike! It’s a fun ride especially when you incorporate shepherds loop. I love Los Gatos. I can’t get enough of the Laguna’s. I tortured myself by starting in Pine Valley and made it to Gatos and back. I’m pretty sure I’ll never do that again. Keep up the great videos.

[@MTBTrailReview]

Thanks, and good work! That climb out of eticket is no joke.

[@notdeadyetmtb1467]

Great vid. For those that like to get some air, there’s a jump park on the south side of Mission Trails that is a great add-on after riding e-ticket.

[@MTBTrailReview]

That place is really fun, too!

[@Big-O86]

How do you get there?

[@joshuaorozco8919]

@@Big-O86 google Deerfield BMX loop. Brendan Good has a good video on it

[@thecuriousquest]

Just watching this gets my heart rate up! Indicator of an excellent video! E-ticket is definitely gnarlier than it looks!

[@MTBTrailReview]

Thanks, and agreed! I would ride E-Ticket a lot more if it was easier to access or had some other fun trails around it.

[@mitchboley6412]

There are other trails around it. I routinely do a 12 mile loop with two runs down e ticket and cover the entire west part of the park from north to south. I incorporate both the North and South parameter trail with very little fireroad necessary

[@darkwhorse]

Many thanks. Ill have to check out the suggestions

[@MTBTrailReview]

Enjoy!

[@sgazzz]

Awesome, video, would love too see a full top ten list!

[@MTBTrailReview]

A top ten is not a bad idea. I might have to do it at some point.

[@paterjo8561]

Nice video showing some of San Diego's riding areas. My favorite area is the Laguna Mountains and Los Gatos is definitely outstanding and then we usually hit Big Laguna trail to Noble for a great long ride. I think the videos would be better if you used higher resolution as they seem blurry to me but I am not an expert. Thanks for sharing!

[@MTBTrailReview]

Thanks! That's one of my favorite rides. The lower resolution was a result of my previous camera. Since I switched to GoPro, the resolution has definitely gone up.

[@shammas90]

How do you get back in each of these trails? Do you have to bike up? Coz thats suicide for me

[@MTBTrailReview]

Each one is part of a loop. If you look on Trailforks, you can piece together a ride that incorporates other trails, too.

[@DK-wr9nd]

E-ticket is the closest local trail for me, but those climbing needed to loop it or get out is kinda brutal haha

[@MTBTrailReview]

I agree. E-ticket itself is amazing, but the access and climb out are not very fun.

[@upstatecre8]

We are hoping to ride Los Gatos tomorrow. I wanted to know if you could share the staging area for Los Gatos and maybe your Relive or Strava links? Always love the work you do documenting the best places to ride in SD!

[@MTBTrailReview]

@@MTBTrailReview Thank you so much! That’s gonna be really helpful

[@paulysoriano5805]

nice videos! Can I ride with you sometime? I need to explore new trails other than snake, lower and otay lakes trails lol... These trail look like a lot of fun.

[@MTBTrailReview]

Thanks! I'm hoping to do some more subscriber rides at some point, so be on the look out.

[@se11459]

Tell your boy - thank you for the reminder to look out for snakes!!

[@MTBTrailReview]

I will let him know!

[@dmitrypeters2983]

Hey man! I love your videos, super informative. I did want to know, because I am moving to San Diego soon, what is the status quo on pedal assist bikes? Are they allowed on the same trails as normal MTBs or are they classified as ebikes? Thank you, keep up the great content!

[@MTBTrailReview]

Thanks! San Diego is semi-friendly to class 1 ebikes. It kind of depends on who the land manager is. This is a really good resource to figure out where they are allowed and where they aren't: www.sdmba.com/electric_mtb_info.php

[@SeriouslyBadFight]

In my opinion you should have left links in the description to the trails on Google maps. I'm having trouble finding it

[@MTBTrailReview]

These are all single trails in much bigger trail systems. If you download Trailforks and use it as a guide, it will show you where to park, as well as how to access these trails within each system.

[@South_Van_Ilse_MTB]

Hey Dude, ill be at teh San Diego Navy base in the no too distant future. Can you give me some recommendations on where to ride thats near there, im definitely bringing my bike!

[@MTBTrailReview]

Sure! I have a few questions first. Which base, do you have a car, and what's your preferred type of riding?

[@verllydantas4804]

Man, when I’m searching for Los Gatos trail it does show up near to San grana is o wtf 😅 I just can’t find this trail in San Diego

[@MTBTrailReview]

It's right about here: www.google.com/maps/@32.8583524,-116.4431697,17z?entry=ttu

[@user-xg7gb9kq1z]

Really great video. I'm visiting San Diego next week and hoping to do some MTB riding while there. Would you have any suggestions on where to rent a nice full suspension mountain bike to go riding somewhere?

[@MTBTrailReview]

Thanks! I would recommend Chainline Bikes in El Cajon. They're an awesome shop, and they rent ebikes, too, if you're interested. Give them a call and they can let you know what they have available. Definitely keep an eye on the weather, too. We have had record rainfall this year, and it's wreaking havoc on our trails. A lot of them are not rideable right now, and may not be for a couple of weeks. If you can get up to Vail Lake in Temecula, you'll definitely be able to ride. It drains faster, and they have a trail crew that keeps everything up and running.

[@user-xg7gb9kq1z]

@@MTBTrailReview Thanks so much for the recommendation. Too bad with the rainfalls. Maybe it’s just not the right timing to get riding next week.

[@jonjustinlanier]

Going to SD for a vacation trip with the family. Probably only getting one half day to ride. Where would you recommend and what shop would you recommend I rent from? Thanks for the video.

[@MTBTrailReview]

Of course! I highly recommend Chainline Bikes. Give them a call and they can let you know what they have available for rentals. Mt. Laguna would be my choice for one ride, but it depends on what time of year you'll be here. It's more of a summer/fall ride.

[@jonjustinlanier]

@@MTBTrailReview ill be there in a couple weeks if that changes anything. Also ill be in the Encinitas area if there is anything of interest in that area.

[@MTBTrailReview]

@@jonjustinlanier I would head up to La Costa. There are some really fun trails, and it's a much shorter drive. Laguna will likely still have some snow on the ground. I'm not familiar with the bike shops up there, but I imagine it won't be difficult to find a rental.
