So i went and did the whole route yesterday. Came out to be 17 miles roundtrip and was a blast! Although the park was officially reopened, trail conditions weren't great with many isolated spots of mud and water. Despite that, the trails were mostly dry and hardpacked so riding was overall good. I recon a few days of sun and wind would dry up those isolated spots.
The CW Main, CCW Nica loop suggestion was spot on. Although the trails do seem like they would be fine in either direction. I ran orange west to east, but after looking at the elevation change from end to end, it seems like it would be better east to west and use red for the ascent. I think i'll switch that part up for next time... when its much drier out.
Oh and i didnt die on red ext, so i got that going for me, which is nice. Gunga gah galunga.
So there's 2 places where you have to cross a river/creek with no bridge? I didn't get a pic of the river but she was 'a flowin hard and i couldn't see the bottom of the concrete. I just trusted there was bottom and plowed through, wet feet be damned. Later, there was a creek crossing which was easy to leap over but no sign of a bridge but its fairly deep and soft in the center, the kind that could suck a tire down and throw you OTB if you just roll it.
