- Eagle Point to D.L. Bliss State Park via the Rubicon Trail.
- Big Slide/West Ridge loop in Nisene Marks State Park, Aptos.
- UC Santa Cruz/Pogonip Preserve trails in Santa Cruz
- Truckee River Legacy Trail / Martis Valley / Dry Lake
- Purisima Creek Loop, located in the Purisima Creek Open Space Preserve, San Mateo County.
- Any section of the Diablo 50-Mile course, but one of our favorite sections is from Mitchell Canyon gate over Eagle Peak to the summit of Mt. Diablo.
- Any of the single-track trails around Auburn, but one of my favorite sections is from our home in downtown Auburn to the fire station in Cool on the Western States Trail.
- Ohlone Wilderness Trail, Alameda County. It starts from Mission Peak in Fremont and weaves for 28 miles through the Sunol Regional Wilderness to Del Valle Regional Park near Livermore. I run a solo 100-mile training run on it every May. I finish off my journey with an official race called the Ohlone 50k, from Mission Peak to Del Valle. In the Sierra, I love doing repeats up and down Half Dome starting from Curry Village in Yosemite Valley. Steep single-track granite trails with the most spectacular views.
