I've been wanting to check this trail out for a long time, so I took my bike a few days ago and went most of the way. I've heard it's 13-14 miles in total, but I went out ten then turned back.
It's basically a two lane, paved trail. There's no shade other than some overpasses. There are some benches along the way. You get lovely view of people's backyards, scrub brush and a few wild flowers, highway, and a few industrial lots. I thought the views of the mountains were quite nice.
Access
I think I parked at the 2425 South trail head. The best way to get there is by way of Redwood Road. Turn West towards Legacy Parkway. You'll turn North towards Foxboro, but then take quick left and you'll be at the parking area. I don't know the exact address, but it's obviously off 2425 South as a general guideline.

Safety
There's not much shade so be prepared, wear sunblock, bring enough water, etc.
There were quite a few other bikers, runners, walkers, and skaters, so keep an eye out for other people and use proper etiquette for whatever of those activities you are doing there.
I didn't see a lot of animals, but I know last year there were a lot of raccoons and skunks hit on the side of the road.
