or come out wednesday nights at 530
It was fun getting out with everyone yesterday, it's never cold with a warm group of peeps.
Thanks to @JimN for hosting, everything worked out perfect. Also thanks to @graveyardman67, @UtahJoe , @sarcaro , @dmkalemba for leading and sweeping, it's always good to have help from the locals.
We are going to keep these going throughout the year. Stay tuned for a February Ride!

I will take you up on this. We had a great time with the OOS group in Allamuchy/Stephens. If this ride were not already scheduled, I would have joined the fun at WC. Not sure if my winter shape will be conducive to the Wednesday night pace.
you will not take my spot as ride "anchor" ⚓

It's like driving a slow cheap car "fast" ("cause I am not fast"). Beat the hell out of it and enjoy. I was confused during the ride and I thought the sandbagging OOS group was there because everyone kept together.
To be clear, I did not say WC was easy! I am sore and my ass hurts. There was some decent annoying climbs and baby head rocks. We rode some great features but a little birdie told me there is much more. Pretty easy to get to too. 45min from CNJ. I will be back. My work schedule doesn't allow me to be riding mid week but lights and rocks sounds like the best worst idea ever.

Yeah sorry, I didn't mean for it to sound like that. I was just saying that if anyone thought it was easy and they would have liked it to be harder, then they should come back so I can show them the hard stuff. I tagged you because I know you want to see the rockier trails
It was great to see such a large group out there. I've been riding here for 30+ years and love it when we get more exposure to the trails. People ask how I have become a good rider; that's the answer ^. If you can ride these trails weekly you just improve or die (ok maybe a bit extreme).
A good thing to keep in mind is that we only touched on one portion of the trails. It gets much gnarlier and there's plenty more climbing for the truly sadistic folks.

FWIW I think the loop we did was perfect. I enjoyed the workout and it was just the right amount of climbing, the staircase was a bitch and I only wish I knew it was coming because I would have just stopped sooner to walk.
The park has a bit of everything in it and I enjoyed the view from the lookout. Could use a little less rocks but I would do again. I actually found the lower part of the decent quite tricky with the narrow trail and tight tree rock placement that at speed kept me on my toes. My ass hurts to but thats for another thread.
