Tourne County Park Conditions

[a.s.]

I feel like the kid who wasn't invited to the birthday party.

It was fun in a "I can't believe I just worked that hard to go 30 feet" way. We did pack it down for the afternoon crowd though!

I like your new motorcycle. +1

Actually it went N-2+1

I went to Ringwood with Dave after our ride. We were following track made by quads and snowmobiles. It was a fun ride!

Power in numbers, Dave. We left it better than we found it this morning!

Yeah man. I had a blast, not sure too many peeps will show if I organize a ride again tho!

Good times today. Even with the convoy, trails still need some packing down. Good mix of riding, walking and TM on a beautiful day. Great work on the white trail clearing a decent amount of downfall. Chainsaws needed tho for what remains.

This ride is just what the park and we all needed!

Nice work @extremedave @notcho @fidodie I didnt make it over until around 1:30, but by then there was a nice path to follow all around the park. Albeit it was kinda soft. This morning it will be excellent.

Someone drove a quad thru J woods and while they absolutely obliterated the trail (giant boulders ripped out of the ground, etc) they did make a path to ride.

Anyone been? How much snow is there still? Trying to figure out a place for NICA on Saturday morning.

My buddy Greg was there Tuesday and said it's in great conditions for fatties. There's a nicely packed tread. It may even be xc bikeable by now. I did ride through the park on my cx bike yesterday and the gates were closed so it was officially closed Wednesday. Not sure why that was.

I rode there yesterday on my fatbike and I'd agree with this assessment. The only area that didn't have a pretty packed (albeit narrow) pathway was the switchback section of the trail. There are still some major treesfalls on the White(?) Trail that bisects the park (an abandoned rail bed?).

get out early before it turns to mush.....and....with the trails being so narrow.....it is going to take extra care and patience when passing other trail users.

Got out there early today, conditions were excellent, didn't even have to lower my tire pressure.

Awesome luge track conditions today. Denville side got mushy with sun so best to get out early tomorrow if you plan on riding. Fat bike not required. Single track so be mindful of other trail users.

Fat bike not required.

Not required, but less chance of a snow nap with bigger tires

Happy to report no snow naps today (or any that were caught on camera). Basically same report as yesterday but denville side had more dirt today which means the sun and warmth will turn the lower sections to a muddy mess this afternoon.

Any update on trail conditions after the last storm? Thanks. Any possibility of a Sunday ride?

 

[bonefishjake]

all i've heard is that there are a bunch of trees down on White.

It was great last weekend and I've heard it's great again now. It only takes a day or two for the hikers to pack it down.

White from pink to the ball field side is clear, from pink toward the lake has many trees down. At least they were down as of last weekend.
