i rode this over the summer. the horses have destroyed this trail. we had to push the bikes at some points and the mud from the horse damage was 6' - 8' deep and we just sank into it. the trail is split into 2 sections with a gravel road going trhough the center. the short side (4 miles) is in better shape than the other. overall.......... very disapponited
