Where to ride after rain

[kaitlyn]

I should know this by now, but what places drain and dries first after a day or two of rain? I want to ride, I don't want to trash trails. Where are you goto spots after the wet?
Thanks.

Allaire dries and drains well

 

[JDurk]

A rocky location with elevation or a sandy location like Wharton.

Allaire and Round Valley are the 2 common rain friendly spots.

Dickerson Mine does pretty well except the brand new Green trail loop. But still plenty of stuff to ride.

Wildcat should be pretty good too, I don't see much runoff coming down onto Meriden as of this morning.

Eh, I did wildcat on the Splitrock side today, and it was wet and draining.

Kittatinny dries very fast, like less than a day fast

 

[Mtbdog]

High Mountain dries extremely fast.

I've heard that place is good after the rain, but literally all of North Jersey will be good by tomorrow 😀

I got my new bars on and this is the place I needed them so it's a testing ground so to speak.

This begs the question: What brand bikes do Juggalo's prefer and what do they fill thier hydration pack/bottles with?

The trail out of the parking lot for a couple hundred, maybe a 100ft long section of the orange trail climb, but outside of that....it was fine. Totally fine on the lake ames side.
