Ya I mean doing any 100mi loop that includes ringwood should be no sweat
ringwood can be all fireroads if u want it to be!
@JimN; you have been a bit of an inspiration to me this year.
I've been working on increasing the length of my weekend rides when time allows. My goal in the next month or so is to do a 50 mile - 4 park ride on the SS hitting up KSVP, Mooch, Deer Park, and Stephens. Was out this weekend and felt great, but had to cut it short do to Father's Day activities at the homestead.

Sounds awesome, Burke! Let me know when you plan to do it and I'll join if I can, provided we go to Salt afterward.
Yeah big time, I need to make a post in the what did you do to your bike today thread a week or two late.

@JimNWell, figuring out the loop should be no sweat. Riding it is a different story
It will also likely not be nearly 100 miles (especially not the first time I do it) but we'll see.
I tried stealing this ride and it never loads into VPU uploader for Strava, anyone else see this problem?

Nope, not too epic, Jim V's epic is downloadable.Doesn't work for me either. Must be too epic. I'm sure @JimN can email it to you
Weird. I can grab the gpx file off garmin connect and send it to you when I'm near a computer.

Free to download gpx from garmin connect, you just need to create an account.

I wasn't planning on doing another one of these until the Fall, but the weather doesn't look too bad this weekend and my wife will be out of town. I may attempt some type of Wildcat/Jungle/Ringwood/Ramapo ride. PM me or post up if anyone has any interest in joining.

I gots lovely shiz to show u
Yeah, whatchoo got?
I'm planning to start at the Splitrock boat launch and make my way up to Jungle on mostly dirt road/quad trails. I'll probably skip the ridge trail by Hank's Pond this time and just take the power lines to save time, although I could be convinced not to skip it. Depending on when I get to Jungle, I might explore the dirt connector to Ringwood or just take the road. Then from Shepard's Lake I'll do Race/Skylands/Red/Warm Puppy/Red/Yellow/Cannonball down to Pompton Lakes. Then it's like 10ish miles on the road back toward Splitrock where we have some options to get back.
I was looking at your strava from when you explored it last. You can do Saturday but not Sunday right?
Sat is best, but maybe I can make it to JH by 2'ish on Sunday.
I need to be at Shepard's Lake heading south by like 1-2pm, so that's not going to work unless I abandon my current plan and figure something else out. Saturday should be fine.
