A few of us are planning to ride. This is all a NJ SPS thing, with Gil coordinating. Should be hoot riding along with Gil and getting a nature tour of the trail. (I have to grab an arborist book and brush up on tree ID'ing, just in case there is a quiz at the end of the ride. )

After the quiz let's ID more trees on the blue trail at a quicker pace going CCW!!

The last wind storm put a big 'un down on the trail just west of the firetower. If the trail hobbits dont get it first, I'm planning to do some quick buck saw work on it after the SPS 1/1 ride. Will ask Gil to bring his vintage 4' crosscut saw for a sawyer comparison.
