Planning a ride, whens your best guess to when the park will be good to ride, assume normal rainfall and temps...

Yeah this is roads. I'll probably check out smp on friday - not hopeful tho
Ridge road is due for a resurfacing

Update - at first I was disappointed - they put in a bunch of drainage culverts which actually made the road worse. Then they seemed to be done. But today they are resurfacing the entire road - yay!

Lots going on - getting ready for winter I guess:
1. Zion from Spring Hill to Lindbergh has been chip sealed. No problem going from Spring to Lindy, but the opposite direction there is loose gravel on the S turns downhill - could wash out - beware
2. Ridge rd from Lindbergh to Rileyville has been repaved - smooth as butter. Signs say closed but you can get thru - they are just finishing driveway skirts
3. Wertzville is closed just west of Montgomery to redo another of these stinkin bridges. Don't be fooled (like me) by the previous signage that made it look like Wertz would be closed between Montgomery and Long Hill - Rainbow Hill is the last way out.

That Wertzille one is a rough one for chutes and ladders
Damn! Wertz is one of my main runways to the fun stuff.

. They just repaved that S curve section on Zion couple of years ago. It was perfect. I don’t understand why they have to go and destroy it with shi*t seal. Meanwhile the section between hollow and Spring Hill is all cratered. Very frustrating!

Yeah they patched that section but didn't do much good!
The twp line is right there, hence the pavement change.
In general, before they chip seal, they pave the holes and low spots. That is usually how you can tell they are going to chip seal it soon. However sometimes they patch pave and chip seal the following year.
Chip seal is waaaaay less money and if done right, provides an excellent surface that drains way well and doesn’t have the road spray when wet that most asphalt mixes do. But it is Mostly because cheap.
Not sourlands, but approaching the area. Alexander Road at the canal, will close for 6 months, starting in early November. This cuts off a main artery into Princeton, so you can expect Harrison, Washington, Quaker Road / Princeton Pike to be a mess during this period.
