After a heavy rain later that week you couldn't tell the horses had been there (on a related topic I wish the horse riders would remove their manure from the path...). So, it was still pretty soft. Now that many months have passed it has gotten pretty solid. You can't tell when the rangers have driven their trucks through any more. Even so the people who ride their bicycles on it have their calves covered in grit after riding even on dry days. I suppose I'll know my own opinion on it for cycling once I get out there on a bicycle with some regularity (should be out there tomorrow). I do know that it's great for running as is.
