Hike or Bike
This section is about trails that bikeable or hikeable... most of them are multi-use up here which is great! If you come up during the week, they are near empty too =)
This is the closest trailhead to my house and will drop you into the Laguna Meadows and Big Laguna system of trails.
If you're on a bike it will be a slight uphill, then a few fast sections (nothing treacherous but watch out for pine cones) and then you're in the meadows for easy riding.
Here are a couple "Hot Laps" that I mapped out which are good for a quick rip that is close to home and the exit fire road that makes returning from the meadows the easiest.

Noble Canyon MTB Loop
Let me know ahead of time if you want to bike Noble Canyon. It is a hellish climb back up after the fun stuff so I highly recommend shuttling.
