We found a nifty website that lets you upload your GPS recorded route to a google earth map & add pictures at various waypoints....as soon as we have time we will add that to this post in case anyone with a full suspension bike would like to try it.
Good things about the 18 mile loop:
1. Incredible wildflower viewing
2. The air smells wonderful up there!
3. The only car we saw was parked at Fish Lake
4. The sound of a flock of sheep baa-ing somewhere near by
5. Great scenery
Downside to the loop:
1. 1200 some feet in elevation gain
2. 1200 some feet in elevation gain over loose rocks that make it difficult to gain traction, and fly off your back tires creating a hazard for the person behind you
3. most of the downhill portions were over rocky terrain
We did not take quite enough water. I had my 72 oz camelbak + a 32 oz bottle, Gordy had a 100 oz camelbak. Both camelbaks were dry by mile 10. Lesson learned!
