pool hollow rd parking

[A Potted Plant]

is it safe to park here and what should I expect?

I always park at skyline if I ride ramapo, but I would think Barbara drive would be the preferred spot to park on the south end? Near ye olde tainted DuPont soil. I know I’ve ended up at the condo complex before but wouldn’t try to park there. But I would defer to someone else who actually parks in the area.

Max, what time will you be there? Early morning, no problem. Weekends, it is hit or miss. Park opposite the houses, I suggest opposite the second house.
Barbara Dr. was off limits with a guard there. He is no longer there, but unless Max knows where he is going I would not suggest it.
Pierson Miller Dr is the condos and is private.
Max, be careful. Lots of bear activity in Ramapo.

Just park in Oakland below 287 and ride Cannonball up for a proper death march. You’ll make memories...

Top of Skyline has been insane the past few months. At the hour you're likely to start it won't be a problem if you wanted to start there though. I've started at Pool Hollow Rd a few times, and it's fine. There's space for a few cars in maybe two spots opposite the houses (on the right side).

That’s a brutal ride, good luck. That will feel like 35 miles at Stephens.

Let me know when you go, I’ll give it a shot. I’ve ridden from the top of skyline over to trails behind the school and that was a trek. That’s without starting in pompton lakes.

I'll join from wherever you start and ride as long as I can depending on temperature and afternoon plans. I have always wanted to do this ride. Going to start resting and reducing weekday workouts to keep my body fresh. Yoga next 2 days.

Didn't plan on it as I was going solo since I didn't think anyone else would want to suffer like this lol

I just thought long and hard, this ride is a beast. I did 16 and change a few times over the last 10 days at Stephens and probably could have done a little more. But this is a sufferfest! From barbara drive to Shepard is probably 10 miles, maybe @JimN , knows, he’s probably done it. Maybe 2000 ft total climbing, if not more over 20 technical miles, I am going to say, that I can’t handle it.
good luck to you.

I don't think I can either, I wanted to do this in the fall but there is an opportunity so I have to take it and try. Fully expect failure
