This is one of the best mountain bike trails for accessing Las Trampas park. It's a steady and hard climb but a good deal of it is on paved road.

Start at Alamo Starbucks/Ace Hardware parking lot and proceed up Las Trampas Road.
At about 1.25 miles, you'll run into a gate for a gated community. Go around the gate, the EBRPD has an easement for hikers and bikers to use the private road to access the park.
At about 1.75 miles take the first right (there is a small EBRPD sign) and go about 100 ft to get to the dirt access road.
Proceed onto the fire road. After a steep downhill there is a very steep uphill (we call it the elevator).
Continue climbing, pass another gate (the actual entrance to the park), continue climbing until you T into the Madrone trail.
Go right to access Las Trampas Peak. or, go left to follow the Madrone to Camille Ave or the Eugene O'Neill National Historic Site.
