DIRTY ATHLETE

The paths are East side of Balboa Park.  I rode these trails just on weekend day a couple weeks back here are my overall thoughts:

-There is some single track but also walkers, dogs and joggers to watch out for
-You have Highway noise, since it is right off the 163
-A quick easy ride and some okay single track
-Easy starter area just to get some miles in and maybe practice some bunny hops
-If you live downtown it is a way to get a quick trail riding fix
-There are some stairs and bridges which add some technical element.  One of the staircases was pretty ridiculously steep to consider riding up or down
