Sourlands Mountain Preserve Conditions

[blackburn1973]

I decided to head there this morning. It's in great shape. not too many leaves and the pipeline is dry all the way down to the pond.

Hmmm ... you may have lit a spark of motivation in me. Going to see if I can get the pass for Saturday TM, and maybe work a ride in beforehand ...

Trees are cleared. Go ride!

Primo this evening. Just one small tree down between markers 4 and 5, other than that just some smaller branches from the wind that can be ridden over.

Bad news tho, some douche was riding a quad there.

Great to everything except the quad. Hopefully there won't be much traffic early tomorrow afternoon.

Yeah great meeting you too Chris, and just missed @J-Dro . Jeff I tried to catch you but knew it wasn't happening. And man was I terrible from boulderama down to the parking lot - no wonder I avoid that section... awful!

 

[J-Dro]

Good meeting you as well Chris. Hopefully for a ride next time.
I wasn't sure if you were going to make it Rick. I waited til about 5:15 but i didn't bring any lights so my timeframe was limited. Next time. I'm around more during the week these days so let's try again soon. I opted to skip Boulderama today and bomb down the 'C' trail instead. Happy ending.

Let's try to return this thread to reporting conditions and start something new for arranging rides.

Dirt was tacky, rocks were hard, roots were...rooty?
great conditions.

and if you have a DH bike, the pipeline has been mowed to 10' wide, with good visibility. have at it.
only think missing is a ramp over the wall by the gate.

 

[phillychris498]

everything rode great today. the leaves are just starting to pile up, so the lines can still be seen. that might change quickly though..

 

[Dingo]

All good today. Loaded with hikers/dog walkers.

 

[rick81721]

Leaves are getting worse - hikers were off trail and crashing through the woods.
