I'm thinking about hitting HM next weekend. Anyone around and want to show me around some?

Spent a few hours at HM today and its a bit of a hidden gem. Got a bit of everything, but not too technical. I esp liked the ramen trail @liong71er Thanks for the tour @C8N

I saw you guys while I was heading in. I was on a black Santa Cruz. Awesome day to ride.

Cools, saw you at the lot with the white car? We were recharging with carbs

Toyota pick up. Had the bike in the bed. Looks like you guys were recharging on the rock wall.

Coolios! I have never seen so many mtbers at HM. Maybe I just ride too early. lol

I think the secret is finally out. I used to never see anyone riding at High Mountain unless they were meeting me there. Now I almost always see others riding when I'm there, and a lot more strava activity too.

Now that you are a MTBNJ team member... can we delete all threads regarding HM?
I like having HM empty lol

But seriously, I now see at least 1 car with a bike rack at the parking lot now and this is 10AM on the weekends. Not to mention, there are number of riders who are either riding in or parking elsewhere because the lot gets full.

I've been showing people these trails for the last two years trying to get more people riding there, so I take full credit. I'm sure it has nothing to do with all the newly discovered trails. FYI, meetup ride Tuesday afternoon:

working on these two turn yesterday, smooth it for fast turn

I ran into @Berms&Boofs this past weekend and we spoke to a North Haledon cop at the reservoir circle and the cop said that there are mountain lions at HM. Said that their primary domain is more likely Ramapo but they have a 60 mile territory and do come down to HM.
Just putting it out there as working alone might not be the best idea.

Thanks for the head up
Let my destiny decide when it really comes down to facing the cat, I'm sure he doesn't like Chinese food.

 

[JimN]

In a fight between Liong and a mountain lion, I would put money on Liong.

With all your lean muscles... you maybe too tough for him to chew on. Me on the other hand, I'm more like a juicy piglet that melts in his mouth.

In a race... I would agree.

This I agree!

Trail werk..

 

[Mr.Moto]

Thanks for the trail work Liong! We see that feature regularly and wondered how to ride it. My buddy finally decided to try and rolled it last week, but it was pretty steep and sketchy.

More than just a place for trails, it is also habitat.

Rode with @liong71er and @chrisalecia this Sunday and ran into @Mr.Moto at the lot. Never seen so many mtbers at HM. Good stuff!

On a separate note... I feel like a freakin rag from all the falls I had for various reasons... like clipless and the plain simple fact that I suck at mtb lol
