This ride will give some who can’t ride Saturday a chance celebrate our fatties on Sunday. The ride will cover all of the 5.35 miles of single track on the north end of the park, some of the historic WW1 munitions buildings hidden away at the park. Then we leave the park to ride some wildlife management areas, a beaver pond at James Branch, Maple lake, and other hidden atv tracks. Should be a great day! Come down to Deep South Jersey and get fat!!

T minus 10 days. Been clearing and clipping. Hope no more rain. Under water in some spots but not bad. Sand is firming up nicely as it does this time of year. Pack some food for the lake break at about mile 16… Hell yeah. Should be a good time..
 
Just finished a ride with @teabagger11 .. just shy of 17 miles, 12 of which are part of the route. Lots of water on the double track. With impending rain today and all weekend I’ll make the call Friday evening to give those interested a chance to make other plans if it’s just gonna be miserable out.
Great ride today Dave!! Thanks for coming out!!
 
Took a recon ride to the muddiest areas and with the impending rain tonight and Sunday its best to let the trails dry out. No rain is forecasted all week so I’ll be happy to host the ride SUNDAY DECEMBER 10th at 9:00 am at Atlantic county park north entrance.
Come on down.. should be great weather.
 
I heard about this ride today, while on another fat bike ride, and was surprised to hear there are other fat bikers down here in Estell Manor. I'll come out for next week's ride to meet everyone.
 
Did a 17.2 miler that includes most of the ride excluding the 5.35 singletrack in the park. I’m going to add 2.5 miles to make it a good solid 25 miler. The wildlife management areas are very muddy and lots of water. Hunting all next week. Sunday should be epic.

Where did you hear about the ride? From the Franklin Parker ride today??
Was going to go but insomnia.. was up from 12:45-5 am… uggghhh

Yeah I was on the Franklin Park ride. One of the riders mentioned this site and that there are a ride out of EMP next weekend. I grew up in Estell Manor, left for a handful of years, and now live in Dorothy. I ride the local WMA's and EMP all the time solo and never see anyone besides dirt bike riders while I'm out there. I'm look forward to seeing someone else's routes and how you piece things together.

Did as much Thorn clipping as I could before tomorrow’s week of hunting. Added another half mile of trail to the list. Had my daughter’s dog with me. He helped by chewing sticker branches. He’s such a good boy!!!! Lots of water everywhere. Would have been a miserable day. Looks like rain next Sunday. Of ducking course. We’ll make the best of it.

Post up if you plan on riding Sunday. They are predicting 50-60 mph winds by 2-3 pm but rain starting in morning. Let me know if you think it’s worth it or should we re schedule again.. and it looks like rain next Sunday also. Lol lol I can’t catch a break..
 
I'm in for tomorrow, if others are. Is postponing the right thing to do? Yes it is, but the best stories come from events where things either goes wrong or the weather is torturous.
