plenty cars in all three lots

Walt, were you driving on Cozzens Lane around 12:30? I thought I saw the new (to you) bike on the back of a car driving past me.

Conditions were damp and humid but mostly hero dirt. Had to avoid a few puddles (a few were last minute hops because of my speed) the roots and logs were a bit sketchy in the beginning because everything was so damp. Overall I put in a hard fast 8 miles and found most of the trails very grippy. My tires say it all.

Started off around 8:30 this morning. A bunch of small puddles, things were slippery overall, especially the roots. Only had time for 11 miles, but did get a bunch of PRs.

Hey guys , Any thoughts on conditions for tomorrow ? Much rain up by SMR ??

 

[J-Dro]

Forget Sunday 7/2. A solid hour of heavy rain around 6-7pm tonight will make it soft and muddy all day tomorrow. Seek out better draining alternatives.

Allaire it is, oh wait

 

[Candace]

Can we go to allaire with State parks being closed??

Allaire is closed, check out the official list of closures on the nj.com site

I'm planning to head to Clayton tomorrow

 

[kidzach]

Stayed away today thanks to J-Dro 's report. (I'm sure it was packed anyway). Mahlon Dickerson which drains very well was in good shape. How does Six Mile look for Independence Day ?

 

[jerzey111]

27 side was almost excellent, exept few puddles in usual spots

 

[RobD]

Allaire trails are not gated nor is the hospital rd lot at the trail head. The historic village and camp grounds are a different story. I was at 6mile on Saturday morning and the trails and lots there are not gated as well. Both lots were just about full when I arrived and were packed when I left.

Six mile isn't on the list of parks closed, maybe it's not considered a state park? I checked a few websites and didn't see it so I'm assuming it's open.

 

[tommyjay]

Canal lot is closed - saw horses blocking the lot entrance. It looks like some folks are parking in the Blackwell's Mills Day Use area lot.

I assume there won't be an issue at the 27 lot since it's for the soccer club, but I haven't checked that side.

 

[Big Dumb Animal]

Ah..thanks.

Canal and Jacques lots are closed, but 27 is open. Yellow tape across trail at 27, but disnt cross so i cant report that the trails are great, except a few isolated large puddles. Didn't see about a dozen other riders not riding too.

 

[RobD]

They came to a resolution around 10:45pm so I'll be headed up in the morning

i honestly don't understand the practical difference between riding when it's "open" vs "closed" in this situation.

Saw a group of 7 early this morning. Figure it was some of you knuckleheads since it was so darn early. Also saw a group of 4 - only 3 helmets though. *smh*

Conditions were excellent - some of the big mud holes were still muddy, but most of the trails were dry and fast.
