Description
Fremont Older Open State Preserve and nearby Stevens Creek County Park aren’t the most challenging or interesting places to mountainbike (lots of fireroad, and a bit of not very technical singletrack) but they have two redeeming qualities: They’re very easy to get to (a 5 to 10 minute drive from the 280 Freeway, exit Foothill) and they hold up relatively well in rainy weather – which makes it a good winter destination. This route starts from nearby the Stevens Creek reservoir and climbs up the Coyote Ridge fireroad, a decent workout thanks to a couple of steep sections that get you in the mood. I wanted to ride the Toyon singletrack but that was closed because of the recent rains and so I turned around, rode Vista loop and then to Hunter’s Point, where you get a nice vista overlooking the South Bay.
