Sourlands Mountain Preserve Conditions

[blackburn1973]

Get out there before it rains, people. Went out for 3 hours last night, and it's awesome. Bone dry ...

Good to go. Just a little mud here and there but even the lower trails are fine.

I'm going to give this a go after work, say 530ish for an hour or so.

I have no idea what to expect with the recent rain; Unfamiliar with the soil of the Lands of Sour.

Top will be mostly dry, bottom may have standing water. I have ridden SL the day after heavy rain and the top was perfect.

I changed my mind. I'm going to explore out the front door on some crazy stuff I found on bing.

gonna say you should be good to go. lower trails might have some spots, but the armored sections should be fine. upper trails are probably good.

Just saw this post. Sourlands got dumped on with close to two inches of rain Saturday night. I would think it still soaked tonight.

Eeeehhh. Wrong. Go back to the beach.

not even a puddle today

 

[THATmanMANNY]

i think i spotted the poison vine that slashed me up good. There is some very minor overgrowth on the lower trails just before you hit the rock bridge skinny. It's hanging down from a tree on right side. I imagine it was more in the trail last weekend.

I live one mile from sourlands and we got poured on Saturday evening. But I was on the trails today and they were in great shape. I quess the rain has to end somewhere. Get out and ride.

By the way the beach was great. Trail of tears in the cape is a good ride.

After the rain we got, how do you think this place would be?

 

[Pearl]

i would love to hear a good report, but i dont think itll be nice. everyone says something about the lower trails vs upper trails, anyone?

 

[clarkenstein]

i would say no to a ride today/tonight but it will probably be good enough by tomorrow after the sun has some time on it. it's been pretty dry so when we get rain its been soaking up a little quicker than normal.
