So... according to the weatherman this morning, no rain tomorrow morning. Rain is expected in the late afternoon.
Weather wise, looks like 7/4 DP 8AM ride is good to go with preride at 7AM?

We just need to settle on a meet up spot
@jackx
@qclabrat
@Kangdoy
@echappy if you get your bike fixed... or if you want any of us to take a look at it, come on down!
I am also bringing a neighbor to this ride

Damn.... too many asians on this ride. Should there be a quota on how many asians can come? lol

Am I missing anyone else or anyone else joining?

I'm still good with meeting at 8AM at the main lot assuming everyone can find it.

The forum Trail Directory specifies the following coordinates for the main Deer Park lot:
40.887921, -74.814155 Lot 1 Main parking area This is the first and general parking area for Deer Park.

Those coming from Route 80, take exit 19 (I believe) and go SOUTH on Route 517 (towards Hackettstown). Pass thru 2 traffic lights (1st at Route 80, 2nd at Panther Valley), and a bunch of shops and a gas station on the right too. At around 2 miles south of Route 80, Deer Park Road is a LEFT turn near Mattar's Restaurant (see Mattar's on the right-hand side of the road.) It is a bumpy access road for about 1/2+ mile to the parking lot, if I recall correctly, as I haven't been down this road in over a year.

I'm not Asian, but people can call me Pat if they want.

Idk what I would do with that kinda time, I haven't been a single man since I was 17. Me as a big boy alone for months pshhhh I'd be dead from malnutrition. Lucky charms and rib-eyes will only get you so far. But hey I'd also get rid of all my carpeting and refinish the floors and do a bathroom and kitchen reno since who needs showers and a working kitchen when you have lucky charms and a grill.

PARTY AT PAUL'S HOUSE!!! someone start the thread!

cut the lucky charms, and you've got you a complete meal according to cross-fitters 😛 (obviously hyperbolic here)

I think they're saying it'll rain later in the day. But who knows, they're always wrong. Must be nice to be wrong and still have a job!

Yeah... Accuweather says later in the day.
Weather Channel says in the morning.
I am switching over to Accuweather for now until they get it wrong.
 
@qclabrat, sorry to hear that, speedy recovery!

always amazed at the s*** i can get away with on my MTB. guess i'll skip any shenanigans with CX bikes and just go directly to slapping drop bars on my full suspension if i ever get the urge to do gravel racing
 
BTW.... we had KSVP on calendar for this Saturday.
We don't have a guide at this point and with Stephens on Sunday, will delete KSVP and try for next time.
 
I am going to do a ride at HM on Friday. If anyone wants to join me, let me know.
I think most of the OOS guys liked the start from the college lot so if any interest, we can start from there.

OK so I'm done working at 530*, looking to ride any place west of 287 along 80

forgot what time the colombian game was.

@qclabrat sorry to hear about your ribs, that's some rough luck rest up and get back soon.

@C8N What time were you thinking Friday? I need to get to HM more that is a great place to build up skill and conditioning, I actually find it more challenging than Ringwood.

I am open for time. Altho I prefer early mornings, I will let you make the call.

Some might give you grief for that comment but I think its the home field or park advantage at play.
I find HM easier because after riding the damn place for a couple of years now, I know where to put in the effort and where to scale back. My legs are just used to how much and for how long of an effort is needed. Where as RW, my legs aren't used to the extended climbs (comparatively speaking) even if it is not as steep.

I am getting out of work @ 2 pm and would want to go then because that is the only time I can. I know it will be hot but not much choice.

I don't mind the long climb and then long descent of RW, changing back and forth from climb to decent kills me.

😵
I must be suffering from heat stroke....
I shouldn't have said I am open for time... I should have said open for time in the morning. My bad!
I have to take my wife and kid to Woodbury in the afternoon.... something I am not looking forward to. If I can get out of it, will let you know.
PM me your phone number.
 
There is a good chance I may hit up HM either way. I usually do RW on Friday's when I get out early but think I may benefit from hitting HM more.

Also... it might be all the loose rocks at HM that sucks out all the energy.
Skinny tires don't help with this either.
