Thanks, I didnt know you could get to teal from jungle habitat. I have found blue, and the start of yellow off blue, but never found teal. I know it comes out by the intersection of GLTpk and East Shore Rd?
I think what you refer to as the Blue is actually my Teal. The trail conference map has it marked as "B", so I guess it's really Blue. But yea that's exactly where it comes out. There's a trailhead right across GLTpk that is kind of hidden and you can make your way back into the WMA/Sterling and back to the Manor. Check out Graveyard Bill's track from the other thread:

I didn't get to do that part cause I ran out of time and took GLTpk back to Ringwood. I'd like to try the loop again sometime w/o all the bushwacking.
Also, a word of warning on Long Pond Ironworks. Once you hit Monkville Reservoir from JH, just before you come out to GLTpk, you will run into something like this:
It kind of has 2 cliff on both sides. That place is a total swamp. There is a re-route on top of the right side cliff face which should be much better.
This route pretty much goes the lengh of the Blue (Teal) trail parallel to JH:

I found the trails in Long Pond to be somewhat technical and at least 1 hike-a-bike, but not too bad overall. They don't necessarily flow well since they are not made for biking, but they are mostly single track, not all fireroads like Sterling and WMA, although on a ride like this, you kind of welcome the fireroads.
Here is part of what I did today, need to plan more time to make a loop as you did. Clearly, you are much faster than me :cry:

Congrats, it looks like you found the trailhead on E. Shore Rd.
(not sure why my garmin keeps cutting out, and garmin connect is great, but you cant combine tracks). LtoL is really rutted out just before big climb heading east. Best thing about this ride is that with the exception of about 3 or 4 steep rutted clims, it is all rideable.
On my 705, I can combine tracks right on the device. i.e. Display multiple gpx tracks on the map. It does have some kind of memory limit though. Usually I'll over-lay like 3 tracks that have good mileage when I'm trying to figure stuff out.
