East of downtown San Diego, a little past El Cajon, is Crestridge Ecological Reserve. During the winter, and sometimes early mornings in summer, it is my regular go-to place to get in some gritty miles before or after work. It’s a mostly unmapped network of trails that figure-8 and spider web throughout the rugged rocky landscape. If you have a willingness to wander and explore, you can find upwards of 2 hours of riding that will satisfy any mountain biking needs you may have.
SDMBA group did some trail work yesterday out there! Yay!
