Started on 27 .. Red and orange are great , cleared some brush as well . I saw some puddles on blue after the bridge so I turned around and stayed on red to canal .. and red to orange back . Some new people out , did some educating .. they thought I was avoiding the mud because I didn’t wanna get my bike muddy .. hoping they get it

as they teach you in scouts, the way to do the least damage to a wet trail is go carefully go through the mud, NOT around it as going around it causes trail widening, vegitation damage and erosion.

I agree or I just carry the bike over the puddles

Rode this today. Pretty sweet.

Is this going to replace the part of red it bypasses or will both trails continue on?

I think I missed that. Is it right from the jack's lot? I started down rabbit run old trail and saw an opening to the right that paralleled it for awhile but that pic didn't look like the entrance. I didn't see any marker

Entrance is to the right where the berm is on rabbit run.

Doesn't look like it. When you come out you'll be further east on red--like 200-300' before the red bred shred segment starts.

it replaces it - although the other will stay as a fire break, and access for service/emergency vehicles.

@rick81721 - the entrance is at the berm that directs riders to the left - where there is a small clearing on rabbit chase run.
there is also a new trail in the other direction, but doesn't connect at the parking lot yet.

Where's the entrance to this other new trail?

I see it now comparing both files side-by-side. I was on an older bypass, then where it hits the original trail again I got back on but should've gone right

This will be more obvious after the NICA race. Having 400 kids ride a trail a bunch of times does wonders for breaking in new trail

From 27 to red/blue exchange across Middlebush was sweet. Nice riding except for 2-3 puddles to work through. Enjoy folks!

Just got back from Six Mile. The sky opened up and it poured as we were loading the bikes up. So much for the hero dirt....

How rain did you get? We just got thunder and a few raindrops a little bit north (I78) but had dinner in Edison and it didn't seem like much rain had fallen.
