South Mountain - Sunday, SUNDAY!!!! Not Saturday. Got it?
Weekly Trail Conditions Report
Allaire Good (11-29) - "Prior to yesterday's rain, Allaire was fantastic. I am sure it should be more than fine for this weekend. SS heaven." and "Everything's really coming together out there. Fast with some mud to make it fun." and "I was there this afternoon (Thursday). Just some random spots of mud that will be dry by the weekend. The leaves are down but well packed down. This place is sweet right now."
Allamuchy North Good (11-25) - "Allamuchy (Tranquility side) was in great condition with just a few wet spots on 11/25. Some of the exposed soil gave a satisfying crunch as my big 29er hoops rolled over it. There was one stone with ice on it but that wasn't the drop that made me endo spectacularly. Lots of leaves though so take care on fast hairpin downhill corners..."
Allamuchy Deer Park/Stephens Average (11-7) - ?
Blue Mountain Good (10-28) - ?
Chimney Rock Good (11-28) - "Chimney Rock is in good shape (I'm not), in places it's more wet than muddy. I did not have the time to ride anything on the other side of Chimney Rock rd. coming from Crim school, but I don't expect it to be too bad. Great job by the maintenance crew BTW."
Hartshorne & Huber Good (11-23) - "Hartshorne and Huber were very leafy, still some soft sand under those leaves but dry on Friday 11/23." and "It's been six days, but when I rode Huber last Friday, the leaf coverage was so comprehensive that literally no trails were visible. There were lots of places where I only knew where to go because of my knowledge of the park. Makes for interesting riding conditions. Hartshorne gets a lot more traffic, so it wasn't as covered as Huber that morning."
Jungle Habitat Average (11-27) - By extension from Ringwood, JH drops to average. Verified by mergs as, "The Jungle will be a bit wet, especially the Warthog Trail which suffers from runoff from the parking lot. (Boy I wish I had a few jackhammers for times like this). so javohl, definitely Average."
Kittatinny Valley Average (11-29) - "KVSP Average. Avoid the needle side of the park mon-sat during hunting season."
Lewis Morris Good (11-25) - Probably in fine shape with a touch of wet here and there. From Jake, "lewis morris was a wet carpet ride the other day, but i'm assuming it will a-ok by Saturday."
Mercer County Park Unknown (10-25) - Still "who knows" but this isn't a dry park so it stands to reason it's not in great shape right now.
Mahlon Dickerson Good (11-25) - "Mahlon was perfect over the weekend. I'd think even with the rain it should be ok."
Ringwood/Ramapo Average (11-27) - "Ringwood was rather wet two nights ago... I'd drop it down to average..."
Round Valley Good (11-24) - Was out at RV with the group ride last week and it was in fine shape, though very much covered in leaves which made things a bit messy. There were a few wet spots but we're talking about 5 total feet of mud, the main one being at the lowest point in the grassy field crossing.
Six Mile Average(11-27) - "Six mile is a mud fest." but then, "6 Mile was average as of last night. I thought it would be much worse." and "Just got back from riding 6-mile, muddy in the usual spots but otherwise most trails very nice. Actually drier than last week."
Sourlands Unknown (11-2) - Probably not in great shape right now.
Tourne Good (10-28) - ?
Wawayanda Good (11-28) - "Conditions were great this past weekend......dry with many leaves. Typical Fall conditions. We had rain early this week but it's been dry and somewhat windy ever since. The trails should still be in great riding condition." and "Still wet from all the rain we received all day and night Monday. The trails are still leafy and slick but should be good for the remainder of the week without rain."
Wildcat WMA Average (11-27) - By extension from Ringwood, WWMA drops to average.
