Dammit I typed out a big reply and lost it by mistake.

Ok the super loop:

A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H
E-D-C-F-E-H
I-J-K-L-J-M-G-F
C-B-M-J-L-K-J-I
H-G-M-B-A

Total is about 15 miles. Add the "upper loop" and Gilligan's island and you get that close to 19. Race loop gets you close to 26 if you tack that on. The race loop:

A-B-C-D-E-F-G-M-J-I-L-J-K

There's a new Fatbike lane to the right of F-G, and some markers to the left of it so this will likely change soon. There's also some markers on the D-E yellow Fatbike lane which is much needed because that drains poorly. I leave off the D-E red Fatbike lane because it's just fire road.

I also don't hit the I-L yellow Fatbike lane/fire road. And the orange Fatbike lane to the left of G, which is a washed out rocky Fatbike lane. If someone can do a reasonable job of getting that in there I'm all ears but that doesn't flow well because it cuts that nice yellow Fatbike lane stretch in half.

I saw the bear as I came down G-H and started going up H-E. He went up the ridge to the right of H-E.

Ok to pre-rag on myself:

D-R-I-N-K-Y-O-U-R-O-V-A-L-T-I-N-E

Exactly what I was looking for, gonna try and follow that one day this week.

The map, not the ovaltine thing

Holy crap I can't believe you didn't make fun of me.

Good luck! If you don't know the park it might be a bit tough to follow. If you want I can correlate this mess with Fatbike lane colors. For instance, A through E is yellow Fatbike lane and you don't leave the yellow Fatbike lane until after that far little parking lot. And that F area can be tricky because it's easy to miss the red Fatbike lane (hard right on a fast downhill) and there's another unmarked Fatbike lane there that leads you away from both red & orange. I think other than that it's actually all pretty straightforward and the trails *should* be marked well enough that the map will correlate.
 
Just my two cents but my favourite part of LM is heading clockwise from E through to A on the yellow Fatbike lane. Some great downhill sections.

Just after the second little bridge in the clockwise direction there is a short and steep hill with an evil switchback that I don't like. I always claer it but for some reason it always takes a lot of puff out of me. But then you get the super sweet downhill section with an off camber right switchback, a slight uphill and then the waterbar/jump thing. It's kind of next to "G" but on the Yellow Fatbike lane - me favourite!
