Good trail for a workout or a beginner. Completed in an 1:10 this morning. Very dry and sandy, make sure to deflate your tires a little bit. I did the route clockwise like the app recommended and passed a lot of going the other way who were generally pretty inconsiderate and lacked trail etiquette. Overall, underwhelming and the long loop is much better for a loop ride.

Beautiful ride. 99% smooth trails With a couple short rocky ascents. Gentle climbs and abundant wildlife.
