Off the Bike Path - Tired of riding the same old bike path everyday? Spice up your commute a bit with of dirt. West of Beach Park the trails begin at Yokuts Park.

The Bike Path - We call it "The Bike Path" but technically it's a multi-use path; so SLOW DOWN FOR PEDESTRIANS! Foot traffic decreases the further East or West you ride from Beach Park. A good way to get started bicycling is by riding West to Enos Ln.

Round Mtn. - Once you've graduated from the flats of the bike path you can try your lungs at Round Mtn. Head East to the end of the bike path at Darrel's Storage at China Grade Loop. Head left, left again at China Grade Loop, then right on Round Mountain Rd. Head up the mountain and then begin your decent. Head left on Granite Rd. to get to 7th Standard Rd. More

Hart Park - Head out to Hart Park for a beautiful ride along Alfred Harrell Hwy. There is a wide shoulder with plenty of room for a comfortable ride. Just follow the signs from Panorama or China Grade Loop. You can continue onwards to Ming Lake if you like.
