Ringwood State Park Conditions

[V-Dub]

trails were great today, might get muddy in spots when it thaws this week though.
There's a lot of arrows all over, is there a race coming up there?

Surprised I did not bump into you.

Race was last week. The ones I saw were on the Lot A trail over to Shepard’s Lake. They may have missed those.

I was surprised we did not bump into you in the usual spot while walking Bailey in the park. We did bump into @Mr.Moto though…LOL

Wondering if trails are clear of snow and mud? Thinking of riding tomorrow morning…

Ringwood was surprisingly rideable in the lot C area today. Someone had cleared the top, fluffy layer of snow off a bunch of trails. I found the uncleared double track enjoyable too. Warm Puppy enjoyable as a hybrid bike-n-hike too. Some other areas too icy and/or muddy to ride.

Yes. And it was a wonderful time to realize both of my fat wheelsets were flat and that I had no sealant left...

Thank you, problem was yesterday as I wouldn't be able to buy. Now I can but I'm working...

Thank you for posting this! I saw it this morning while looking for motivation to get out and ride, so I went up to Ringwood and had a killer ride.

Fatbike? Suitable for 2.4inch tires?

Suitable for 2.4inch tires?

I think you'd be mostly fine. I would avoid Skylands/red, and Cat's Nest with skinny tires though. I also probably wouldn't try Warm Puppy without studs at this point.

I was on 2.4. But honestly, for those with excessive bicycle purchase disorder, like myself, conditions were (still are maybe?) a perfect excuse for fatter tires.

why are you trying to make this sound like a bad thing? AFAF

You are right. I think I'll check out the Christini AWD too.

What the consensus on tomorrow morning trail conditions?

I would not ride it, but if you do stay on the southern most part of the park as it drains better.

Rode from the school to lot c and up to ponds and out to red in mix of single track and fire roads. Single track was in great shape. The fire roads are wet with some muddy sections. Overall better than I expected.

 

[MountainPsycher]

Pretty good conditions in lot C and school area. I found the loose leaves to slide easily over the frozen ground, making things a bit slippery in places, but all very manageable.
