    To second the previous reporter, the trail from the sarasota intersection->west is atrocious. Sandy and rocky all at once. Quite washed out and the "stairs" are treacherous for whatever mode of travel you choose. Could use a reroute at this point.

    Yetman up and over to Upper Golden Gate is absolute trash currently - washed out, sandy, giant rocks, lots of veg in the trail. Golden Gate is moderately better, but almost more infuriating because it's easier to tell that it was a fun and more rideable trail at some point. Cue the Tucson old school rider chastising me for complaining.
