Easier ride – Grasslands Trail to De Anza Park and back. 6.4 miles

This ride is 6.4 miles with about 900' of climbing overall. The trail is mostly doubletrack or wide singletrack, with a firm and fairly even surface, so it isn't technically challenging. It is an out-and-back ride, so you can turn around and return at any time. If you would like to ride further, you can combine it with the Intermediate ride.
