Did this route last week starting from Flint Ridge CG parking area and have some strong opinions- the first trail section, California coastal trail Tey-wo-lew, was severely overgrown and had thick brush including stinging nettles, which made riding difficult. Had to walk a decent part of it and was hating life while doing so, lol. I would instead recommend taking Adler Camp road, which is a gravel road that parallels it and eventually connects with the trail from the way the route is currently set/how I did it. After being on Newton Drury Parkway for a bit the route took me to Ossagon trail; the first part of which being spectacular, but became submerged under a couple feet of water once you reached the coast. After trudging through the first underwater section of the Davidson trail (prob a quarter mile), the trail conditions improved slightly, though there were a few downed trees obstructing the trail and overgrown sections that took a long time to walk through. The trail eventually diverged from the trees towards the coast, and this part was super cool and almost entirely ridable. Saw the waterfall and some elk grazing right alongside me! The trail eventually connected with the more established trails by fern canyon car park, and the gravel climb out was super fun (especially passing cars, lol). After that, I got to the lost man creek trail, which was a spectacular climb; closed to cars, decent road conditions, and a doable but challenging grade. Unfortunately, I sliced my sidewall 3 miles from the top and had to hike to the top then hitchhike back to where I started from a parking lot. This is one of those routes I would classify as type 2 fun and recommend doing once
