Enjoy the relaxation of riding in the wilderness on empty trails. Join us on this docent-led mountain bike ride through Limestone Canyon, part of OC Parks’ Irvine Ranch Open Space. We will visit the East Viewing Platform for a panoramic view of the geological feature call "The Sinks". The route to The Sinks will include a fun downhill ride on the Dripping Springs singletrack. The return route will take us on the Limestone Ridge singletrack with views of Limestone Canyon, Santiago Canyon and the Santa Ana Mountains.

This is a slow-paced ride designed for beginners that have experience riding fire roads such as Limestone Canyon or Telegraph Canyon but want to develop their climbing and riding abilities. The ride can also be enjoyed by more advanced riders looking for a relaxed ride in a beautiful setting.
