High Point

A loop in Daley Ranch. Counter-clockwise so you hit Bobcat and Crest trails downhill. Other than ~2 miles of Bobcat and Crest, the other ~11 miles are mostly double-track and fairly boring. But good scenery and a good workout. Some challenging climbs are hike-a-bike for many riders. Expect to share with horses and hikers.
