Great day out! Easy to follow, well marked, and pretty cruiser single track. A little rocky but never too steep for too long, almost completely runnable. Beautiful views and Fall colors. I saw maybe 4 people the whole day. I started at the Strawberry Point viewpoint and ran some parking lot loops at the end to get to 50k but trimmed the GPS track to fit the described route (and that brought me just under 5 hours!). I easily hitchhiked from Wood Ranch to Strawberry at 7:30am on a Monday (probably got a bit lucky). 0.8L of water and ~600 calories, shoulda consumed more which I had brought. I'm not in great 50k shape right now, this route is relatively low hanging fruit I think and would be great to compete on.
