Del Valle Regional Park mtb trails (Livermore) - Intermediate to Advanced
Details
E-mtn highly recommended. If not on an emtb, you need to be in very good shape to tackle the steep hills here.
From Folsom, it's about a 2 hour drive each way. Forecast calls for sunny and highs in the low-mid 60s!
Watched a bunch of videos from there, and it looks soooo fun. I've heard that the trails are steeper than they look (mostly blue trails), but they are very flowy (mostly) with pretty good sightlines... shouldn't be many blind corners like we have locally.
Meet at the Top of the Hill (coordinates on the map) between 10:45-10:55 with wheels up at 11:00am. Figure we'll ride for 2-2.5 hours or so, 20 miles and about 2k-3k elevation gain overall. I've never been there, and I've heard the trails are steeper than they look on YouTube.
Carpooling is encouraged.

I'll have my silver F150 with several bikes on the back, probably riding my silver Amflow. Will have Veronika, Merrily & her friend, Brian, driving w/ me.
