From the perspective of a biker. There was a good balance of elevation changes in both directions and the path is in overall good condition. A few spots to look out for with standing water and sand in turns. The pedestrian traffic is a bit challenging. Unleashed dogs and owners that wait until the very last minute to pull in fido. Don't mind slowing down or stopping for kids, congestion or the nice ladies doing yoga...I may try the road course back down as another reviewer described.
