Do we know who the trailforks admin is? It would be nice to get this stuff "on the map".

I applied, but I'm assuming there is already someone handling it.

Yeah, I’m one. I can change them all but @Patrick has to promise not to change them all back to CROMWELL.

We'll just put all the sticks back in front of the Six Mile bridge if that happens.

Ok I tried, but my Hump Trail is not showing up on the overall map.

Alright. I fixed it. It needs a GPS loop to follow it seems.

I need a GPS loop of the gravel path. The actual trails will seem incomplete at the bottom without that to show how it links together. I'll work on this over the next few days and iron out the kinks.

rode these trails on saturday...WOWZA...such an awesome loop! thanks all!!!

 

[Carson]

Am I seeing that right? Part of the trail actually goes into Green Brook Township?

 

[Patrick]

I'm getting a bunch of trail edit notifications....

Doesn’t look like it.

Oh look! Kirt and I back out there this morning. Pics are improvements on the Shed Trail. We also did work on the triangle area in the middle. Doesn’t have a name just yet.

Starting behind the basketball court, all the way down to Brookside.

You need to start at the fireplace behind the courts and end at Vosseller for a "true" mile, just watch for the occasional car on Brookside. Still a great 1 kilometer or something...

 

[qclabrat]

I’ve been trying to figure out the same, this seems to hit everything.
1.Come in off Brookside, take the gravel up - at the split, I go left down and around the empty lot/pile o’ dirt and then up to the basketball courts.
2. Cut in below the courts and then a left to start down.
3. Follow the flow and stay right at the first fork, get the outer loop.
4. It wraps back around, cross the small concrete bridge, make a right and then cut across the field to the middle flow area. Take that down to the gravel road.
5. Climb the lower gravel road back up to the grey shed, make a right and get the lower flow, which will wrap around to the old drainage area,
6. Climb back up to the top, get to the same intersection you were at at #2 - behind the basketball courts.
7. Seven. Seven. ✋🏼✌🏼 enjoy the best mile of riding in central Jersey.

How many miles did you get?

 

[Norm]

But there's more!

While Kirt and I were doing the stuff above, Jay was over on the Hump Trail making it more-better. This is all starting to come together like a Ravensburger jigsaw puzzle.

All this work is looking awesome!

We also did work on the triangle area in the middle

This area? If so I propose "Hard turn"

 

[Norm]

"Hard turn"

Well it's less hard now. I would go with Bermuda Triangle but there are 2 triangles. Unsure which would be Bermuda in this story.

I like Bermuda triangle, we lost a guy there on a group ride a few weeks ago and we didn't find him again.

A friend of my who lives near here said that there are signs that the trail is closed? Is it open for riding without getting in trouble? I have asked him for location of those closed signs to get better idea.

Yes it’s official closed as “Under construction”. There are 6 signs along Vosseller Rd to Brookside.

Thank you. Is it still possible to ride without getting in trouble?

Who said it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission?

Admiral Grace Hopper

This is poorly interpreting Grace Hopper's, “Ask forgiveness, not permission.” First of all, many people don't know that Admiral Grace Hopper said that; the attribution. But also, they don't realize what she was talking about. Admiral Hopper said many, many noteworthy things in her day.Aug 7, 2019

I thought it was Gov Christie after Sandy....
or was that 'do the needful' ?
