    2024-25 snow report

    How far south to do we have to go to find decent ride conditions?

    Is the Cherry Ridge Road parking area still fair game?

    I think its more the speed that people drive down the road to the lot vs not wanting bikers to use the lot. I mean they dont want us to use the lot but when I crawl along the road slowly I get less dirty looks and even a few people wave back at me.

    IT band syndrome

    I was able to fight this off with a combo of pigeon pose both standing(using a standing desk to get the height right) and on the floor and releasing my glute with a lacrosse ball to get the knots out that may not have been the cause but were contributing factor to the problem. Keeping your whole...

    Ringwood State Park Conditions

    Watch out on the race course just before the first roller going up, some falling debris must have knocked or disturbed a yellow jackets nest from the rains. I was stung a couple of times, so was the other person in my group. This was on Saturday.

    (Poll) Where are you reading this post?

    I dislike using my phone for much more than voice/txt (I know, shocking, I call people), funny reels and mapping apps. Browsing the web and reading posts on a message board on a tiny screen is something that I cannot understand. I realize I am in the minority here, but it can wait until I have a...

    Wawayanda State Park Conditions

    I do not know, I have parked there in the past and had no issue. My thinking was even if the land around it is private, the road is not owned by the tree farm but I may be wrong and it could be a private road.

    Wawayanda State Park Conditions

    The huge rut just as it turns uphill to the circle is the worst I have ever seen. I made it up in my CX-30 on Saturday slipping the whole time, but I was debating that I should park in the turnaround just before it turns uphill the next time I go. I have low profile tires that lean more toward...

    Wawayanda Down Trees - Intel? Crowd Sourcing Your Observations...

    There are three trees down on laurel when you make a left out of sitting bear. First one is decent sized and about five feet off the trail suspended by the rock walls on either side of the trail.

    Ringwood State Park Conditions

    Its a terrible picture, see the red arrow on the map attached, most people pass this on the way up towards skylands and would not notice, it is not the obvious on the way down either but this leads to narrow chute with two alternate line choices and was blocked.

    Ringwood State Park Conditions

    @chris12453 there is a pile by the A line at the end of red just before the fireroad break leading to white/warm puppy intersection. The high line on the left coming down. We cleared one on the big slab with the tree hanging over it further up from the white/warm puppy intersection and then...

    Wawayanda Events

    Pete, where is this, is there a non sanctioned trail there? The markings for this xterra take it down the waywanda rd extension with the three bridges that are in bad shape. It turns off to the right on some trails that I always thought were unofficial. Thought it was an interesting choice of...

    Ringwood State Park Conditions

    I cleared out two more piles in the section between the top of Warm Puppy to the start of Skylands yesterday, Skylands was clear for now. This person is dedicated in their misguided trail blocking efforts. I am the third person I know(not including the posts here) who has removed multiple...

    Jungle Habitat Conditions

    Yesterday was not great but it was not as bad as I expected. I thought I would have to turn around 30 feet in and chute was ok with the exception of a few low spots on the switchbacks near the top. Those amounted to 3 or 4 sections of maybe 5 feet in length that were very wet. I did not bother...

    Colonoscopy, how long after...

    I felt that the prep was out of my system as soon as it cleaned me out before the procedure. I went for a ride the next day with no issues. Same day would be fine depending on how fast you shake the anesthesia's effects. I was pretty out of it for most of the day, so I did not even consider it...

    Wawayanda Down Trees - Intel? Crowd Sourcing Your Observations...

    I hit wall, porcurpine, rockadendren, mojo, hemlock+loaded, fish, tombstone and rattlesnake on Christmas morning and did not come across anything down. Lots of washed out spots but less than you would think. Trails had sticks and branches to wreck derailleurs but we kicked those off the trail...

    Sterling Forest Trail Conditions

    I did the main loop from southgate clockwise yesterday and it was in great shape. I fully expected to have to turn around after seeing the condition of the short fireroad to the southgate lot and then the double track from the lot to the trail head. That area is severely washed out but the...

    Any news on conditions? Trying to figure out how far south I have to go to get a ride in this weekend for the no fatbike/tires with studs people.

    Wawayanda Events

    I always wonder if it would make more sense to have garbage cans and go away from the carry in/out. No one seems to follow it at Waway at least. Place is a dump after every weekend starting with Memorial Day. Is the carry in/out mainly driven by cost or to keep trash panda's, bears and other...
