This reminded me of....I would have been mad after driving down from North Jersey to see those signs. .
I come in peace... I do not want any trouble

FTFYso please think of the bigger picture and lead by example. respect the park's closure. respect the people who donate their time and money to build and repair these trails. just wait until the conditions are acceptable before venturing out in any park.
Nox is a bunch of nazisTry that at Noxs and if they see ya, they will be writing!
Yeah, I'm pretty much right 99% of the time????You two are right, obey all the rules because they are rules. I guess I wasn't thinking clearly. Thanks

Maybe this full closure thing wasn’t fully thought through?
Don’t worry, it will be a full on bitch sesh Monday when the trails get reamed tomorrow
and Sunday.
@Dajerseyrat, you must be totally oblivious to the talk around Allaire right now.
1) full closure or no closure, cause people cant be trusted to police themselves.Maybe this full closure thing wasn’t fully thought through?

I’ve been working with the park the last week on signage and we are close on the approved format.
Anyone in the group here have a sign maker connection?

Lies....all lies I tell you..Alaire is a mushy muddy mess.
I like your commentary MissJR, and agree with you. The other thing that is important to bring up in a town meeting (such as Watchung) is that the mtb community is the only trail users who maintain the trails, reroute, build new trails, advocate preservation of trails, and educating other trail users. Volunteered a lot of time on TM (which is posted on other sites, not just mtb) and 95% or more that show up are mtb-ers.i don't want to keep harping on the guy... he gets it...
what i want to say (and which i didn't earlier) was that, yes... there are days when everything's all frozen over and no damage will be done. and under normal circumstances, i'd be right out there with you guys... happy to be out of the house. BUT the trails are currently closed... and as others have mentioned, we as mountain bikers are on thin ice with the parks. they don't care if the conditions were fine for this one day. they just see bikers riding passed clearly marked Closed Trail signs. they will take note. and so will anti-mountain bikers in the area. so when you're in a meeting trying to get access at some place like Watchung, these anti-bikers will bring up this type of stuff to use against us. they don't care about the one day conditions that were primo... they just care about the fact bikers totally f-d up the trails in the first place and disregarded the rules. we will lose access.
so please think of the bigger picture and lead by example. respect the park's closure. respect the people who donate their time and money to build and repair these trails. just wait until the trails are officially open before heading back to six mile.
end rant.
