Yes, what is with that crushed cement? (is there a rock garden buried there) It just does not fit with the rest of the trail. Why crushed cement and a by pass at the same spot? The by pass has better flow.
Steve, if you are not building it, who is?
The first part of the seasonal loop is very wet and can require hike a bike. The rest is very rideable, except for the very south end. The muck at that greats you after the fall line down hill is alive with hungry mosquitos.
I turned around on the new section when the trail turned to mud. So I can only guess that the new section is not rideable.
Over all the trail is in good shape.
No surveyor flags were seen on the seasonal loop.
