Pinelands 40 (miles)

The rain is doing, what it's supposed to do, to the snow we got, for the ride were doing.
About 36 hours of this, should do the job.

That sounds like Haiku,
But its not, oh well, my bad
Maybe nextime though
 
Sandman - I'm out for Pinelands 40 tomorrow, keep posting your future rides, very interested in riding with you in the Pinelands.
 
Any advice for a Pinelands 40 newbie? Schwalbe Ralph/Ron or something more knobby? Higher or lower tire pressure? Flats or clipless? Also, what are you bringing for lunch between the loops? So many questions... and yes, I am overthinking it. It's all for the sake of enjoying the ride....

I think I can only answer one question. Lunch for me is PB&J on oatbread. A second sandwich of cheddar & tomato. Snacks during the ride.
Tire pressure: Too high and you will bounce around. Too low and your rims are hitting the roots.
As far as newbie advice: Don't bring your high price stuff out. The trails are full of downed limps, log overs, overgrown branches, dips and water.
The sun will be out. Your bike will be wet. And no matter what anyone tells you, after a snow melt, two days of rain, 40~50 degree days. Five hours of 27degrees, will not keep the sand off of your bike.
So if I haven't talked you out of riding, you are in for a fun day. Long, but fun.

Had some snow here last night, driveway and car were iced over and assumed roads were the same so didn't venture out. Was wondering if anyone is currently talking to Jim as that is the only measure I have ad to how good the ride was!

Well, 4 riders couldn't wait to get back to the cars, then left. Leaving just Paul, Steve, and Rick. And they stopped talking to me years ago.
