Mountain Bike Falls Creek

Where are good beginner mountain bike trails in the SF/Monterrey bay area?
I’m a beginner looking for bunny trails in the greater bay area. Easy to easy-moderate technical and aerobic. Good example: Big Basin from the coast to Berry Creek Falls (this is definitely an easy one). Bad examples: anything at Demo or JD Grant. Nice hardtail is crying to get out in the dirt.
I’m not interested in websites, first hand only.
Singletracks.com should have a list of trails in the area that are both rated and reviewed by other users – it’s a comprehensive website and a great resource for mountain bikers. You should definitely give it a whirl.
