How difficult would it be to do most of the full loop but maybe cut out the 2 hardest gravel sections? Asking for an out of shape friend with an old road bike lol

0% chance you make Bull Rd or Goat Hill on a road tire. Bull Rd is before the church.

I saw this is the last year bull will be gravel, it's getting paved.
@Ryan.P I won't make Goat either, but at least you get to blame the tires.

It'll be like Warrenville Rd in Green Brook, which would be great to go up a few times before this FYI.

But that's dangerous

45s. Tuffo graveleros

Warrenville has the biggest shoulder of any climb over Rt22. Actually, has the ONLY shoulder of any climb over Rt22.

I figured at least some of us would start together, most likely wont all end together. As close to 8 as possible

came to say this. earlier the better.

Fellow 🐒
Are we rolling out together? What time does everyone want to grand depart?

Also what is the final roll call.. trying to get an idea. As mentioned I have 2 of my local crew joining as well so we would be a big pack of monkeys rolling out together.

I'd say we aim for wheels rolling at 8am and we would end up rolling just after that latest 8:15? Id assume the mtbnj kits will be out in force so pretty easy to find everyone if we meet near the check in booth or somewhere nearby.

I came up with this list based on comments in this thread - correct me as needed.

It's a really well run event and I had a great time last year. You should definitely come out if you can.

What tires are you all riding?

Probably rocking the Schwalbe G-ONE RS in 45

What tires are you all riding?

been riding Teravail Cannonball (Durable 42s) tires for about a 2 years now I like them a lot for mixed surfaces that I ride. And the only tire that would help me not walk up Goat hill would be the tire thats on an eBike which I dont have so its whatever.

you should join us from your ride postings you would not have an issue. just save me some beer and food when you get back about 2 hours before me.

yes we need multiple recaps of this day from many angles, plus more photos

 

[Steve Vai]

You think Velociraptors would be OK, or should I run Tioga Psycho-Ks?

I rode it on Friday already to scope out where the best photo-ops are.
