Search Youtube to get an idea how easy/hard they are. Plenty of videos there.

The Cleghorn Trail could be a good one for you: http://www.dirtopia.com/wiki/Cleghorn_Ridge_Trail
Here are some photos from a club run: http://socallandcruisers.com/photo/2014 Club Runs/Cleghorn Trail - January/index.html

Thanks for the excellent suggestions. I ran Drinkwater Flats on Sunday as it was closer, I'm in the South Bay area. Really an excellent trail to learn your rig and and build confidence. Some steep sections to learn throttle control and TRAC behavior.
Looking forward to Cleghorn, but seeing some of those pictures I think sliders will give some extra piece of mind.
Thanks again for the suggestions! Will have to join up with SoCal TLCA soon.

Rowher Flats, same area. Many trails there.
I hope the link will open at the intended location. You will a trifurcation. Three ways of climbing that hill. I'll try to attach a youtube video so you can have a better understanding of what you're dealing with. No problem for the 80.

Second link worked great. Looks like another fun place.
This is where I started on Sunday. Up the hill on the East side of San Francisquito Rd, then along the ridge top for a ways and then out on Bouquet Canyon Road.

This is the one:
My neighbor in a Jeep and the Park Ranger thought I wasn't well equipped to get on the trail. But they felt better since the Jeep has a winch on it. They made a little fun about my tires, being too small for off road. I didn't even air down. Never got stuck. Did not use the winch.
The only part I really hated was getting off the trail toward San Francisquito Canyon Road. The last leg was horrible. Way too many rocks, everything rattled and shook like crazy.
