I hate to admit, but the last few years have been the same- mostly Tahoe, Northstar specifically...
I'm in the same boat with not really knowing where to ride locally. I grew up in Santa Cruz, so i was SPOILED when it came to riding. I had Nisene Marks Park a literal 5 minute ride away. I hate going back and forth over there to ride now because traffic always sucks ass when I have the time to ride.
I moved to Campbell in 2010 and have been looking for riding spots and buddies ever since with little success...Thats why I brought up a potential Bay Area group ride. I dont mind driving to ride, I just don't know WTF to go lol.
