    Cool. I was the guy in front of you in yellow jacket. Fun ride, good meeting you, nice to be on the bike again after a year off.

    The Hurricane Ida Chimney Rock Relief Effort Thread

    Thank you all for the hard work that has been done. The big gorge on Red can really only be solved by a bridge, unfortunately. Can't fill it in to block the stream. That was a fun, non-difficult crossing but can't block the stream.

    The Hurricane Ida Chimney Rock Relief Effort Thread

    Walked White, Orange, Red and White today. Great cleanup on ballfield part and White. Outer Red does now have its own Grand Canyon near the top, probably only fix is a bridge. That was always a fun crossing. Guardrail bottom climb is a ravine, think all it would take is rake and tamp the rocks...

    Chimney Rock Conditions

    I rode Sunday in the pea soup of humidity. Stuck to White, all of Red, and Orange and Ballfield. Rocks were really slippery on Red, overall good conditions with very little mud/puddles anywhere. Avoided notorious wet areas like Blue and lower White. Thanks to those who trimmed out White, really...

    Myself and two other friends of mine are in (@Dingo and our friend Ryan - you know him, a staple at CR TM).

    Chimney Rock Conditions

    Attempted CR yesterday from ballfield. Went into White towards Gilbride. Terrible conditions - frozen footprints, gray slick ice. Made it as far as big bridge at base of stairs and bailed. At the time it was 32-33 degrees so no mud.

    Chimney Rock Conditions

    Planning to go tomorrow at 8a.m., starting from ballfield lot. Probably hitting Yellow, White and Red. Blue usually keeps the snow more protected. Orange? Not sure, either slipping going up, or sliding going down, could be fun. How are the frozen footprints, anyone?

    High Bridge: NJ’s first professionally built flow trails on public land.

    As for Nassau it's open year round weather permitting. Ridden there when it was frozen - just as fun. I know nothing of pump track, not my wheelhouse.

    Good for a kid?

    Nassau definitely kid friendly - I ride there!. Lol, in all seriousness, Nassau is a fun flowy place, see lots of NICA kids riding there-really nice to see. Other places that are kid-friendly, with a little time and don't mind the drive, are Deer Park and KVSP. Those two places are a step up...

    Shout Out Thanks @ Waywayanda

    Heal up @Dingo. Glad me and Ryan were there to help you get out. And a huge thanks to the two riders, total strangers to us, who stopped and immediately offered to help. Without them I'm not sure the two of us could've gotten you safely over those two huge trees within a foot of each other.

    That sucks, glad it wasn't as bad as it coulda been. Braided line is nasty - learned early to always wear gloves when using braided line, especially if going for blues.

    If you saw me outside of my mtbnj name, you'd know me, lol. Ridden a lot of races at Waway, including a few Bearscat50 endurance events, and always ran into you and talked. Been riding Wawayanda 20 years with legends like Jim Clawson and Dick Cooper.

    Iggy - it was great seeing you guys too, at all places on Thirsty Dog. I still laugh when I remember you calling down to me, as I'm walking my bike, "Hey Mark, are you training for cyclocross?" Yep, although @Dingo didn't get hurt on crazy stuff, I've gotten hurt enough times to walk stuff I'm...

    Pete, with all due respect, we know Red Dot is not a fire road. However, the section we were on was well past Nature Jim's Bridge, well past anything technical on Red, and on the wider sections that lead to camping area, just a freak wreck. As always, appreciate your trail updates and trail...
