I wish I saved the audio from that recording. I tried dozens of times but could never say it right!

Thanks for another inspiring ride through! This is exactly the kind of terrain and locale that I find most inviting (for my capabilities).

I wish we had more rides like this in California.

Thanks for posting this video and route. I rode it yesterday with a buddy and really enjoyed it. Grav-Valhalla!

That's awesome. I'd love to see pics.

Wow! What a great trail! I used to live in the bay and never been there, one thing to add to my biking list. Great video, thank you :-)

I had no idea what to expect going in. I really hope this gets locals into gravel.

I’m planning a long ride out there this weekend! Looking forward to a little preview.

I wished I had seen a video to prepare for this. It was a lot of fun.

Great video of trails preview. I'm usually a hiker but with these trails looking friendly enough, I might try these slight up hill climb and enjoying the easy down hill. I plan on takingt old Giant 26" hard tail. More of these videos would be be very helpful and thanks for making them!

I think this is one of the best places for people to start getting hooked on gravel. Not overly climby with great conditions and views.

Hometown trail!!!

I don't know why I haven't seen more people post about this.

Is it easy to get lost in this area?

No. A lot of hikers and bikers if things do happen to go sideways.

@@GravelBikeCalifornia Thank you! I love your videos, sense of humor and of course the Golden State views. I love open roads, gravel or paved. Your last video in San Jose was stunning. I hope you approve my request to follow you on Strava.

Just sent a request. Thanks

Dude.... thanks for promoting Calero and Almaden parks, but it is pronounced Al-ma-den, not All-madden. I live in San Jose and mtn bike at both parks so ask the locals the correct pronunciation of the parks you visit. Thanks again for promoting both parks.

I should put up my audio session one of these days. I knew I was pronouncing it wrong, but I just couldn't say it right for some reason...
