Ride Description

14 mi, 5 M, 2340 ft; Rancho Canada Del Oro,Chisnantuk Peak Trail

We'll start in the Ranch Canada del Oro (RCdO) parking lot and head up the Mayfair and Longwall trails to the top to take in a great view. Then we'll hit Chisnantuk trail in Calero downto the picnic table (Cottle rest area) before heading back up to descend Catamount Trail in RCdO. RCdO is uncrowded and pretty but has some good climbs. The Chisnantuk downhill is a lot of fun but the Catamount descent has a few steep spots. Plan to be fully self sufficient (water and food) as the only improvement at the trailhead is a pit toilet. Bring your knobbies! Gravel bikes not recommended. Start location: Rancho Canada del Oro Open Space Preserve [Route/Map]
