 +===== Trails that I been to =====
 +In increasing level of difficulties
 +
 +  -  Sequoia bayview trail at JMP (Joaquin Miller Park). 20-30 minutes drive from El Cerrito. Mostly flat, easy-peasy. 
 +  -  Crocket Hill, Soaring eagle trail. This is a 1.9 mile downhill. One need to first climb up along the firetrail, need a tow-line or geared bike. There is little or no shade, better go when it is cloudy. The parking is a bit tricky, either one parks at the park parking lot and do a lot of climbing along the edward trail, or park by the high way and take the short cut. 
 +  - China camp, easy parking, intermediate trail, moderate climbing. Upside is that the trail is flowy, no roots or rocks, and one can play a bit in the park afterwards, Also lots of shadow. 
 +  -  Big Tree trail at JMP. There are some climbs and down hill, nothing crazy. you can push the bike in the worst case. It is a bit steep towards the end, but mostly ok.
