30km classic Catch22 / La Manga route.
Start near entrance to Soggy Peso bar on Catch 22 singletrack toward the mountains, include the lollipop loop and return down the same Catch 22 singletrack, with small section on dirt road before joining the paradiso singletrack heading toward the ojo de agua. Continue down Mickey's Wild Ride (MWR) and Rapido y Furioso singletrack to the dirt road.
Follow the dirt road up to Rancho La Huerta and Glenn's Canyon singletrack.
Connect to the dirt road again then a quick left to El Tobogán and enjoy the twisting sandy road uphill and downhill to the coast at Cactus Island. (optional ride up the Mirador overlook for the best view of the coast and tetakawi)
Follow the coast road with multiple dips and climbs through La Manga Dos and La Manga returning to the entrance of Soggy Peso bar.
Now go have a cervesa and crab tostada on the beach, you've earned it

Descenso muy rocoso después de las lluvias; un par de secciones donde la yerba no permite ver bien línea del camino. Rocky descend after the rains; hard to follow trail line in a couple of sections, due to the grass.

Surcos ocasionados por la erosión del agua de lluvias recientes,en algunos segmentos de este tramo, hacen el recorrido mas retador en estos días. Some rill formations in several sections, due to water erosion after recent rain, making this trail more challenging these days.
