hi everyone.
i am a new dad - have a 3 month old daughter. does anyone know of any trails on the peninsula i can take a jog stroller on? i have been to sawyer camp trail, and it is nice, but i am looking for something unpaved.
any other dads out there who manage to still enjoy trail running with a new baby? how do you do it?
thanks!

try Wunderlich (off 84 in Woodside), Bear Gulch is single track but the other trail that goes up is a fireroad (can't remember the name.. something like Alhambique or something).. you can go all the way up to skyline on very nice fireroads (it's about 6 miles depending on the trails you take). Once you hit a junction: Crossroads - both trails that lead up to skyline are fireroads --one it a bit longer then the other. There will be bumps at times, so you won't be able to push the stroller ahead & run hands free like at sawyer camp, but hey.. you're on a trail, I imagine that is what you expect?
The other option is Rancho San Antonio, lots of fireroads (PG&E trail -- though it is quite steep, and a long climb up), and Rogue Valley are both good. In fact on Rogue Valley you will get flat sections you can do hands free..
I had my daughter in our BOB running stroller from day 4 (I was a bit stir crazy).. she still loves to go running, though now she wants to run with me (she's almost 4)..
Enjoy:-)...

Yes, those are both great trail suggestions. Given my obsession, I quickly dropped ~$250 on a running stroller for my daughter. She's now 13 and still has great memories of when we used to run together and I'd push her along.
Enjoy!
