I have done it twice, both times in the late fall and enjoyed it very much. Easy riding but can become monotonous at times. We camped and carried our own food on both trips, but there are plenty of places to stay along the way if you don't like tents. The first trip was hot, sunny and windy and the second trip was cold, windy and rainy. During heavy rains, some parts of the trail become soft and that steps up the level of difficulty. Overall great ride and I plan on doing it again in a few years with my kids. The best thing about it is...NO CARS!!!
