I think the only place in OC that’s farther than 20 minutes from a good trail is Huntington Beach.

By the looks of the bike you posted the other day here, the Mt Wilson Shuttle in Southern Canada (Northern Los Angeles) would be a good fit. Keep in mind that this during weekend, we will be experiencing the effects of Tropical Storm Kay here. Expect rain, wind, and humid air.

There's always the FLoop.
I hear the causalties are the highest in all of the trails in the US. That's why they built a hospital there.

Yeah theres a few trails here. I typically ride the same one over and over, though. More xc-ish. I'm game to give you a tour of my trail. nothing special but I like it. 13 miles and 1300 ft, and sometimes a lot of peeps.
If you prefer some more chunk fest I'm sure herz would be happy to oblige. That's if you can get him out of the ocean.
And snake charmer is correct in that it says rain all day Saturday ( unlikely IMO) but that can change to no rian at all real quick.

Isn’t The Luge loop mandatory if one is in the area? It’s not my favorite, but it’s a decent loop…

if you fall on the loop does that make it the Fully flop?

I think the term is "de rigueur."

Many good trails, but it looks like rain at least late Friday and Saturday, but who knows.
I would say, bring your bike just in case. If it does rain, trails to avoid would be Whiting, Weir, & San Clemente ... they have literal bike stopping mud. Ask me how I know.
Luge/STT & San Juan hold up well for the most part.

He would hold you up down the Luge.
I could never get interested enough in that trail to try to go fast… Let’s take a ride up to Joplin, or any trail without bumpers.
I heard you love exposure…

Oh, so @SnakeCharmer has been talking Sh!t. Good to know.
San Juan would seem to be a good compromise.

Quid pro quo. Laguna for the Gabes.
Let's do it when it is cooler.

Laguna? Absolutely! But as the guest, I get to pick the route.

You pick the Gabes and I will pick Laguna. Bring a bigger bike.

A decent rider can ride down almost anything on a singlespeed or hardtail. Doesn't mean he/she's gonna like it.Stairsteps, Rock It, Lynx, Mentally Sens, 5 Oaks, TnA, Rattlesnake.....all on the SS.
I am still perplexed how a former Bullit Owner (x2) is so enamored with painful bikes.

Ohhhhh, I like it.
In fact, I prefer to ride down TnA or Stairsteps on the SS instead of the Luge.

That stands to reason - the Luge is most fun at speed - and that wouldn't be fun on a hardtail. Sure @Lost Kiwi can beat all of us down The Luge on a hardtail, but he too is a freak of nature, and somehow finds that fun.Ohhhhh, I like it.

I did my left shoulder on Lynx and my right shoulder on Rock-It. Both moderate intermediate trails I've ridden a gajillion times.All proper shoulder shattering trails.
BONUS ROUND! - I didn't realize the symmetry and alliteration until now. Lynx Left. Rock-it Right.

I’m pretty sure we’d lose your humor about 1/2 a mile up Lower Sam Merrill…

Given electricity rates, I can't believe anyone living in California in a single family home doesn't have solar panels by now. The sun charged my wife's car. No "flexing" needed.

Sounds like a "flex" to me...

End of an era. To our Canadian (the real ones, not the north-of-LA-county ones) friends, and any others of the Commonwealth, time for a moment of reflection on the past 70 years.

All the solar companies seem like scammy door to door salesmen with financing/lease programs that hose you over 20 years/have a lean on my home. Pretty sure I'd just get ripped off.
