That’s a e moto sign or a non peddle assist electric bike. The e bike sign is a bike with a lightning bolt. Just look on the Strava menu.
 
Per NY

Not going to look it up now, but didn’t New Jersey propose or pass the same law. I know I was at a DEP conference a few weeks back and was talking to some folks there that spoke of the state moving towards something related to e-bike in state parks.

Nope, the governor told the parks department to treat class 1 bikes as regular bikes.
 
Most NJ based National parks don’t allow any form of biking. They are mostly historic grounds for walking tours. Exception being the pine barons down south.
 
Large tree down on Munsee … see photos for location and size. This might be a repeat of another posting?

I have not been up there in the last few days, but I heard that one was cleared. I assume Eric and Brian cleared on the way up to the dragon. If so, THANKS!!!
 
Curious about a gnat report. Are they bad right now? They’ve traditionally been brutal this time of year in the past. I haven’t been up here in a month or so.

I’m a few mountains over at wawayanda and the main offenders right now are mosquitoes and deer flies. The former are easy enough to stay ahead of but deer flies will swarm and chase a meal indefinitely.
I like to smear some tanglefoot liquid on a piece of duct tape and stick that to the back of my helmet. It is hugely satisfying to finish a ride and see how many passengers you have.
