It is in great shape for not having been ridden on in so long except for a bit of overgrown vegetation encroaching in one or two spots.  

Watch out for the little bridge in the clearing under the power lines.  The ground has eroded away at the lip.  Not enough to swallow a wheel but could still send you flying if you hit it wrong.  It is a bit hard to notice due to the vegetation I mentioned above.

It may have just officially just opened back up this weekend but I can tell you that it has been ridden quite hard for the past several months.  Lots of folks in power ranger suits...

Trail was prime today...  Hit green then ran over to figure8 and the thread trail... finished up with a few beers at the restaurant.
Short sweet ride...

About halfway through Figure 8 it turns off to the right.  If you get to the big uphill you've gone to far.

Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt.

I agree I rode it today, and for a pretty flat piece of trail its pretty fun once you get going.

It's got good flow. The grade reversals and tight trees make a good slalom course.  The hills are rolling so you can zoom over them and pick up speed on the backside. I really like it. The faster the more you feel the effect
