Sand Point overlook is not a beginners ride. However, Other destinations such as the Loma Prieta Epicenter, and the Loma Prieta Logging site are. In addition, there are 2 single track trails in Nisene Marks as well that are available to Mountain Bikers. Aptos Rancho Trail and Vienna woods Trail. They can be combined from either end of the park to make a long trail ride with plenty of challenges for any level of bikers. Also Soquel Demonstartion Forest can be acessed from Sand Point just by riding further.

sawpit and braille are both easy for beginners. i suggest these back to back as girlfriend rides. after you swill a 6 pack at the car, go back for another loop. 34 easy miles.

This park is excellent! It has a great climb, and wonderful singletrack. I take the fire road up every weekend, it is great. Also, Bicycling Magazine voted it one of the top "Five doubletracks that won't make you miss singletrack" in the nation.

If you want to turn this into an "Epic Ride" (gungho riders only, please), continue up Aptos Creek fireroad from Sand Pt, climbing a moderate four miles to the entrance of little known 'Soquel Demonstration Forest'. This park has several miles of killer legal singletrack for those who like their trails steep with lots of dropoffs, gnarly roots and slippery rocks.
