Report:
Top has scattered loose rocks,
middle to the bayliss cement driveway is all washed out.
Its all single track, blaze your own trail, or follow the creeck bed.
Some creek crossings were hub level deep! a lot of wet sand washes that were like quick sand. On the most part the creek had a rock bottom.

A lot of errosion, and some drop offs into the stream. I haired out on most of these and walked it after I hit one deep hub level crossing. at the cement driveway, 3 foot plus erosion!

It was so much fun!!!

Wait, what?! It's singletrack again? Please say again to confirm. I rode it in early Dec and it was pretty much all fireroad. If it's back to singletrack already that's awesome!! And a total waste by the gas company... biggrin.

Please let me know 'cuz it's an hour drive for me. Thanks!

hey Nobu, I think I saw you and your wife near the bottom. she looked kinda sceerd!

Henry,
I guess you could call it single track. You may have to make your own as the fire road is gone from mid point down to the cement driveway at bayliss. Come on down before the gas co regrades it again! I had a blast and even got wet! some of the crossings were hub level deep!

I'll be there saturday morning. If you guys want to meet up, I park on Bayliss near the top, ride up westridge to the nike site then loop up to sullivan ridge and drop into sullivan canyon. 13 mile loop and 6 miles downhill! I'll be there at 8 am look for a grey Matrix with blacked out windows.

Be prepared for initial climb going north on Bayliss, continue onto Westridge, its steep 20 degrees before the trail head. Westridge fire road up to the Nike site, pit stop, water and restroom available. North on Mullholland to Sullivan Ridge Fire Road , down to Sullivan canyon rd. then drop in. another five mile of downhill, to the cement driveway. Not for beginners, many drop offs, some deep streams, fallen trees. Begginers are welcomed, you can always dismount in the sketchy sections.
