Rode this place with Alan yesterday. Beautiful f'ing day and the trail was absolutely great. Although this was both our first times there so we can't really compare to past conditions, the trail seemed in great condition to us.
No deep loose dirt to worry about, no hike a bike anywhere, etc etc. We loved this trail, awesome singletrack, great 'double-track' climbs that are actually fun (sorta fireroads that are becoming singletrack), gorgeous scenery, killer climb (hell hill) and even a fast stretch of paved road towards the back on Ranch center road. Has just about everything I could have asked for.
I ended up with 5 mosquito bits even though I wore bug spray. Dont think alan got any though.
Only thing is that it was a 2 hour drive ](*,)
I uploaded pics to the album in 'santa monica mountains' or check here for the complete pictures (I think there's like 34) http://www.socaltrailriders.org/archives/sycamore/index.html
