This trail is great for a family day out, it is best to follow this trail clockwise meaning that you will have a long climb of approx. 3 miles with some steeper sections, the surface is well maintained hardpack that is ridable all year round, on the return there is a steep decent that is easy and should cause no problems with care.
Along the route there are several chicane gates with a bypass gate that can be opened by a support rider, there is however on set of gates that do not have such a bypass and you will need to ride through, depending on turning circle support may be required, if you are unable to get through you can go back to the road and ride back from there but this is not a nice end to an otherwise great ride.
Also during the ride there are short sections of single-track for those who wish to try some harder lines, these are only short and you need to choose to go down them, I would highly recommend trying them if you want to improve your skills. the a-MTB rating of these sections is A-MTB 2.
