    In addition to these popular rides here are a few others...
    Phelan Mountain Road is a great out and back on an old, smooth, overgrown USFS roadbed.
    Several loops can be had on the Williams XC Ski Trails.  Most of these have good singletrack, if not follow the Blue Diamonds on the trees.  Meadow to Powderhouse Loop.  Meadow to Buckhorn to Williams Creek Trail.  Perreau Meadows is great singletrack and easily added to the above mentioned loops.
    Mukluk is a fun downhill but you will need to do some navigating for the first couple miles.
