I ride, but I'm in the south bay. The farthest north I ever get is Skeggs (El Corte De Madera park). I go there most, and sometimes I go over to Soquel Demonstration Forest near SC. Or just to Steven's Creek OSP if I don't have time or I don't want to drive.

I used to ride quite a lot, until I broke my ankle speed skiing.
After recovering from that I've been driving way too much, it would do me good to get back on two wheels, if for no other reason than conditioning, maybe after I get back from driving to Canada this weekend...
There are a lot of great places to ride around here, Anadale, Mt Tam, China Camp, Bolinas Ridge, Tilden and Wildcat Canyon just to name a few...

Avid annedale rider here. Come spring time. It's a little muddy, wet and cold right now. So I'm a wimp. I usually ride weekends, except during summer when it's bright out late, then I ride after work sometimes.

i got giant AC2 which is almost a downhill bike but is great for XC too. I tried some downhill trails in the east bay and didnt really like it so i stick to XC now. I ride east bay hills and tilden park (more so in the summer and fall).

I haven't ridden in a few months, as I don't have a bike in working order right now. But I will soon. I ride Quicksilver on summer evenings after work, and on the weekends I'm at Demo, Skaggs, the Gap or Wilder Ranch. Once or twice a year I make a pilgrimage to Bogg's Mountain Demonstration Forest near Clear Lake with some riding buddies.
