Live Oak Loop is a ride that circles most of Lake Chabot Regional Park (beginning at the lake), travels alongside the golf course and finally skims the shooting range. The entire ride is either on fireroads or paved bike paths. A couple of the hills could be considered strenuous, but they are not too long. This is a good place to ride if you are a new rider with some experience and stamina.
