X Trail - Mountain Biking Temecula, California

Tucked in the shrubs along the hillside above Temecula and Murrieta, this trail offers some cross country riding for a quick workout and skill shake-out. The ride contours along the draws of the mountain for a good workout and some bike balancing as it winds through some tight brush. You can finish it on the southeast end with a fun downhill. It is in a convenient location for lunch or evening rides for the residents in this area of SoCal. Right now it is mainly an out-and-back as shown on this map, but there is a way to take it as a one way from the top on Eagle's Nest (not shown on this track). More trail is being built currently, presumably to make a loop. If you're not riding to the trail, you can park streetside on the numerous roads in this industrial area. Rio Nedo is probably your best bet.
