OOS MOGA

I'm out this weekend, if my chores don't get done, too bad as I'm a stones throw at Allaire now with no bike

OK. Let's get this ball rolling:

Let's do a Stephens State Park ride.

Date: May 20th
Time: 9am
Location: The Iron Gate off Kinney Road, Stanhope, New Jersey (40.907564, -74.770812)

Again, this is a NO DROP ride. Our pace is as fast or slow as we'd like. This is all about having fun on our bikes.

Please RSVP if you're able to attend.

Just a quick bump for next weekend's Stephens ride. Fingers crossed the weather holds out for us.

wish I could but promised the wife I would cut the lawn today if it wasn't raining. Was gonna try to go if I get it cut early enough. I do want to go any day that it isn't raining and I can get a babysitter this week though.

No worries... keep me posted the next time you go
 
looks like we're expecting 2 inches of rain between Friday and Saturday. Throwing out a 7:30am ride at Round Valley for anyone interested, a little earlier than usual since rain expected before noontime. Haven't done RV for close to a year, but depending on pace we can either do the Red>Cush>Road loop or just out and back as far as we can get out. @fidodie, what's the time for a slow full loop of RV from the dive site?

can always use the camp ground road to return, rather than going over into cush.

Never been - 730 is early but I’ll try as of now

Everyone scared of RV or the rain? How about HM then for a little less elevation. @C8N leader?

I would be down for round valley or high mountain. Difficulty isn't my concern it's availability. Wife is sick if she is better by the weekend i should be able to do 730 or 8
 
Not sure any park can handle 4 days of rain... especially with a down pour expected on Saturday. I do suspect that highlands at HM would be "rideable"

oops, was reminded that Stephens is also Sunday, for some reason thought it was Saturday
@ReggieHammond what's the possibility for decent trail conditions at the park for Sunday, looks like lots of rain Friday into Saturday. HM or RV are the backup plans if Stephens ride is canceled

Upper Stephens does tend to drain rather well, BUT.....I'm not sure it will be able to handle the forecasted amount of rainfall we are expecting. I'll post up on Saturday whether it's a go or not.

RV is pretty much bullet proof in that way. Water seems to drain right into the lake which it goes around, probably why there's a good deal of climbing. Only time I've found RV no good is when there's snow/ice and it gets warm quickly. I'll look for @fidodie to assess should we need to
