just got back from sourlands where I tried to meet up with the TM gang... ended up being a 2hr wild goose chase and didn't find anyone
my bad, I think I covered every square inch of the place on foot nontheless. It is prime riding season at Sourlands for sure!

Thanks for the conditions report guys. I went out last Wednesday and had a blast. This was one of my favorite trails when I used to live in Princeton. I now only get to ride it when visiting from NC. I'll be in town until the end of the week. Has anyone ridden Sourland since the rain? I was thinking of riding there tomorrow.

Hiked it yesterday and it was pretty good. Should be fine for tomorrow. I will be there in afternoon . That will give it more time to dry out.
Wasn't sure you were still riding mt bikes.
I need to get over there soon. Jonesing for some SL action. Tomorrow won't work.fasterthanliam

Just let me know when. I don't really ride a mt bike mostly just push it over the rough stuff.

Awesome! It's like a paved highway. The snow/ice makes it buttery smooth. There are only like 3 really icey parts where standing water is but you're able to ride all the features. I hit it at 2pm too when it was "warm" and did clockwise loop to Boulderama. Turned out to be a beautiful day! I brought a first timer friend there. He did really well too and said "the best place he's been". HOLLAatCHA boyz Jeff/Bobby!
It's very interesting riding with the light snow dusting because you can tell the different ways people are taking.
GO RIDE!

Took a hike this afternoon. Conditions ranged from super muddy to perfect (three amigos). A beautiful day today and I look forward to getting back there soon. I did see that some jackass vandalized the huge "table rock" in the middle of roaring brook with pink spray paint... a heart breaker indeed. Maybe there is a safe way to remove this during the next TM.

This morning everything was frozen and firm.... perfect conditions. About 11:30 things started to get soft. Sunday should be just about the same so get out there early if you want to ride.
I'll mention the spray paint to the Parks Dept and get things rolling to get it removed. Thanks for reporting Mike.

Ditto all that. Sweet ride this morning! Get there early tomorrow.
Snapped a little clip of Dave conquering a tricky section of Boulderama in the wrong direction.

Late to the party BUT I can donate some grafitti off... It will work, trust me
on the rock type at the sourlands a wire brush or grill brush will work wonders. and no chemicals.
