Finally checked this one off the list!  Great route, great views.  

Fun times, but I think if I ride it again, I'll do an out and back via the Iron Bear trail; CW loop has sooo much hike-a-bike.

Anyway, trail was in great shape overall.  Parts of, esp. the higher-elevation sections, had lots of loose chunky rock on the trail, which made it hard to ride, but so it goes sometimes in the high country.
