“Rocky, rutty and dry doubletrack that skims the perimeter of RSM and Coto”

— Phil Reyes
GPX File — Driving Directions

Overview

Description

This trail is good for an after work ride. North/East of Coto Drive, the trail has a neighborhood feel that's well maintained. But South/West of Coto Drive, the doubletrack is in rough condition in some spots. I found a big incline to be slippery because of dry, dusty loose stones and rocks. It has some very deep ruts as well. There's some sweet views of Saddleback Mountain from this trail but it offers little else other than some short cardio.
