Ok, so the original plan was to follow Jav!er's trail (http://en.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?id=2523003) but one of us (who does not need to be named!) got a bit lost. Jav!er says his trail is "easy" but ours turned out to be pretty difficult. We're in decent shape (not great) but we had to get off our bikes and walk them up a few bits, especially the steep climbs after 11km, 15km, and 29km. We had a nasty spill around 20km when a bunch of crazy dogs started barking and chasing after us, and that changed the mood of the day pretty badly. But up until that point we were having a great time.
This is an absolutely beautiful area, especially the first 8km. Sorry I couldn't post many pictures, this was my first time with wikiloc and I accidentally deleted the waypoints.
The long detour after 8km will take you to a beautiful view of the dam, but I wouldn't go down that way unless you were prepared to make a pretty steep ride back up to the main trail.
All in all, this is an excellent place to explore. You can get lost out there, so make sure to bring a phone with plenty of battery!
Kareem...how serious are the dogs? I would like to hike in that area..
