This loop is awesome. It has a little bit of everything, technical single track, some climbing, some steep descents, and some wider roads to get some speed on. I did this unsupported. You can easily cut 10-15 minutes off  once you run this loop once. There are a lot of points where the trail weaves in and out of others. Luckily the trail markers are every 10 seconds so you quickly realize if you have gone the wrong way. The section where you cross the road is a fun adventure right now as it is totally overgrown with thorns, I turned around to the last marker just to make sure I didn't go the wrong way and sure enough it was the right way, just a bit of bushwhacking to get to the guardrail. The back 4 miles is definitely a lot tricker to navigate than the first 6, keep your eyes peeled and then some. I definitely will be back to do it again!  If you do this try and not go right after it rains if possible, the rocks get quite slippery, no falls but definitely had some close calls slipping down things.
