Did 15 miles with over 1600' climbing there Sat. Coursen to Swenson. Climbed Tinsley to the top of SRM. Downhill Tinsley over to Blue Mountain trail. Back through the park to Coursen to complete the loop. Great ride.

Were there two of you riding, both on Cannondales?

 

[njkayaker]

No. Just myself on a Trek Rumblefish. I didn't see any other riders the entire ride.

Ah ok, I was hiking there on Saturday. Guess we didn't cross paths.

someone remind me when it is humid like it was that stokes has the worst rock sweats I have ever seen.

 

[njkayaker]

I hate rock sweat! most of the rocky places around here are all like that. HP gets very bad.

Did a little Stokes on Thursday. My route was based on a 'BAIN' recommended route from one of these threads: Sunrise Mtn Rd, Coursen, Stony Lake, Lackner, Coursen Rd, Swenson, Tinsley, detour up to Cabin, back down to Tinsley, Skellenger Rd, Blue Mountain, Stony Brook, Coursen Rd, Lackner, unmarked, short road return to parking.

I rather enjoyed myself. So, I'll jump on the "awesome" band-wagon.

And, thanks for the route recommendation.
