Cool. I didn't know that you could get back on the CT before Kenosha. That dirt road, while not singletrack, would surely not be unpleasant...so there you go, start at the Lost Creek campground!edemtbs said:No, no. There is no need to ride along 285 to get to Kenosha from Lost Creek!! You have to CROSS 285 once, right at Kenosha but that's it.
There is a stretch of dirt road you have to ride to get around that little bit of "CT is in the wilderness" section.
If you are starting from the east end (where I think the Lost Creek campground is that you are referring to) and head west towards Kenosha on the CT, you will ride beautiful singletrack for some ways - several miles. Then the trails drops down quickly and it meets up with a little parking area and dirt entrance road. At that point the CT enters wilderness and you have to take a lightly traveled dirt road for a while and then hook back up with the CT for several more miles of beautiful singletrack to get to Kenosha. There are a couple of turns on the dirt roads however and I can't remember them for sure to describe here. If I rode it I'd remember.
But point is, I still think it would be worth you while to do what you plan if you map it out right.
