One of the long trail loops could be set up as a USCF-spec cyclocross run. Some running in soft sand but I was able to manage in 700x30c tires. Watch out for the mosquitos and biting flys!

the short trail is ok but i definitely not suggest the long one. The sand is very thick and hard to ride thru. Also towards the end make sure your eyes are open because the trail kinda goes into a lake.

I enjoy the shorter trail, good scenery and fun. I do not like the longer trail. It is preety much all sand and is really boring.
