Bay Area Broncos

NEWBIE...are there any trails folks would recommend to a beginner around the Bay? (Within an hour's drive or so). I just got back from the Moab Off-Roadeo, and I'm hooked! I would love to get out while the weather is still decent and see what my rig can do.

I’d say go play around in Hollister OHV Park. That has a range of trails and an obstacle playground and a demo course that has all kinds of goodies to try. And different lines to try on the same ascent/descent.

Helps to go with others as you get spotters and help getting stuck. You aren’t going to get “better” on easy fire roads. Check out sourgrass off of hw 4

There's a guided run by ED4 (Esprit de Four) on Friday after Thanksgiving at Hollister, 9 AM at the Oak Tree; they'll take good care of ya; I might be there as well.

Hollister Hills is the best area to practice and learn in the the Bay Area in my opinion.
Central Coast Broncos, and Bay Area Broncos (Facebook groups) always have folks going out there.
Also Esprit De Four, a club of all makes of off-roaders does their Safety Clinic twice a year. It's a great place to start, but registration fills up quickly. And as WheelMe said, they have a fun run later this week that is geared towards new off-roaders.

Thanks all. I will check out Hollister.
