Trail is all good to ride. I rode then Sullivan all the way to the top and no worker was complaining to me that I was riding.

rumor has it that its buttery smooth, super fast and perfect for a gravel bike. However, you would only want to ride it on a holiday when the crews aren't working. Still closed. Plus, from what I hear, there is still lots of work to be done. It's not opening anytime soon
