Really they are more adjacent to shady rest, but there are a handful of short trails you can do and use shady rest as a central starting area. The options trail is the more exciting one I found around there, everything else is more XC type trails.
You missed the best non bike park trail which is the Mountain View trail. It goes from the earthquake fault to the minaret vista. You can take the uptown trail from the village to the earthquake fault or park at the earthquake fault or the minaret vista.
That is a great trail! And the only reason it didn’t make it into this video is because the upper portions were still snow covered when I shot this video, but it gives me another reason to go back!
I agree - and it's even better in the opposite (mainly downhill) direction... fwiw. if you have a bike park pass, then starting at the summit, you can link: Off The Top to Beach Cruiser/Shortcut trail to Mountain View trail in the park - then cross over at the road at the Minaret entrance station and take the non park portion of Mountain View all the way to Earthquake fault, then pick up Downtown all the way into the village itself - that's a 14.5 mile mainly downhill epic ride!
There is a knoll to the east of shady rest park, the trail starts at the top of the knoll. There are a few different forest service roads you can take to the top. If you look at the Strava segments on that map, look for the one labeled options.

Didn’t know shady rest had bike trails. Great video!
