[Mr.Moto]

Make sure you check out the new stuff on munsee eagle. Would join you but headed up to the kingdom of the trails this weekend .

Is munsee eagle part of the standard loop or is it elsewhere?

Part of the the standard loop. If your going counterclockwise from buttonwood the new stuff is when you reach the woods road headed towards the powerlines. Trail crew working signs on the left shortly after you hit the woods road.

It will be the new single track to take out to the powerlines rather than the woods road.

2 Laps? Have fun.....

Two different (and awesome) downhill sections. Twice the fun!

Latest report says no rain expected until later in the day. Last time I rode the trails were really dry. They could use a little rain.

More than 8 miles a lap, more than 1000 feet of climbing....like I said, have fun.

Live up to your name and CLIMB.

FYI, the 1000 ft of climbing does not include the new section by the power line, that has some crazy switchbacks. Probably another 300-400 feet. I would love to but my only bike transport is the vette. South Gate is not vette friendly. I would just hold people up.... 55, fat, on a 36 lb. fat bike= not fast

BTW - folks can choose to do one lap and no one gets left behind. All are welcome!

I’m hoping the stars align which would allow me to make this. Ever ridden here and so want to enjoy this place. Keep you posted if I’m able to pull this together.

Looks like I'm in. Is this still a go with the weather? It's a misting here in Allamuchy.

 

[oobaa47]

fyi, I'm about 15 minutes away from sterling and it's a heavy mist right now.......
