Overview
At first glance you would be excused for thinking that there's too much traffic in Orange County to make cycling enjoyable. After all, it's the smallest county in southern California but the sixth most populous county in the entire United States, with just over three million residents plus millions of visitors each year. But you can ride on car free bike paths along most of Orange County's 40 miles of scenic coastline, not to mention many river and canyon trails inland. You can also visit wonderful parks, many of which have trails that are perfect for the whole family. Add to this beautiful weather and you have a perfect formula for year round cycling. Author Peter Dopulos has biked thousands of miles all over Orange County to select the best 85 rides, published here in Where to Bike Orange County. Once selected, he's accurately logged every mile with a GPS unit, to produce detailed full color mapping for every ride. He's also ranked every ride from one to five stars in difficulty according to its distance, smoothness and climbing. So whatever your level of experience, you'll find plenty of rides just right for you, with no nasty surprises! Now that Peter has done all of the research and documentation, all that you need to do is get out on the trails and enjoy!

Ride A04, Yorba Linda Recreational TrailThis ride travels mostly through residential neighborhoods and there are few dining opportunities along the route. However, where the ride crosses Yorba Linda Boulevard, there are a number of eateries nearby, Polly's Pies being my favorite, located at 18132 Yorba Linda Boulevard.
