I didn't have a lot of juice to bother this week since it was all frozen early in the week but it seems like things are melting, and getting sloppy, just about now. So with that in mind, if you have any trail conditions, fire away and I'll update this post. This weekend looks to be a Mess Fest with 40-55 degree temps and rain Sunday. Blah to that!
Races
Berkshire Valley Buzzards Bash - Sunday - MTBNJ Unofficial Training Series #3
Weekly Trail Conditions Report
Allaire Good (12-20) - "Rode most of Allaire Wednesday with Chuck E. A little tacky mud here and there, but conditions will be excellent come Saturday. Sunday probably not so much, unless the rain gets here a little later..." and "Allaire is a little muddy in spots but great overall."
Allamuchy North Good (12-20) - "Allamuchy north has been amazing! I've been all over the park. Probably about 90% of it in the past couple of days. It's been stoopid fast when frozen, just tread lightly on the front tire or you'll do the best endo you've ever done But as for the warmer temps I bet it's going to be sloppy to say the least. Go when it's cold so it should be a little more solid and less mushy."
Allamuchy Deer Park/Stephens Average (11-7) - ?
Blue Mountain Average (10-28) - ?
Chimney Rock Average (12-21) - I'm going to go ahead and call this one average at best. With the warming temps it will be dipping from average to bad, but overnight it probably freezes up a bit. Saturday morning should be ok, but later in the day as well as all day Sunday is probably going to be shit.
Hartshorne & Huber Average (11-23) - ?
Jungle Habitat Average (12-20) - "Wawayanda & Jungle Habitat are frozen and snowy...it may get better Sunday when the temps warm up to soften the top layer of ice. We have had lots of snow and ice and freezing conditions the past 2 weeks."
Kittatinny Valley Average (11-29) - ?
Lewis Morris Average (12-1) - ?
Mercer County Park Unknown (10-25) - ?
Mahlon Dickerson Good (12-20) - "mahlon is frozen over and fun."
Ringwood/Ramapo Average (12-2) - ?
Round Valley Good (11-24) - ?
Six Mile Average (12-19) - "I was there Tues. and Wednesday evening. Great if frozen. Crap if thawed."
Sourlands Average (12-15) - "sourlands last weekend was groovy. a little icy on the boardwalks, but overall cool. i think if rode early enough with cold night temps the night before, it'll be fine... but once milder temps come in, it'll be crap."
Tourne Average (12-20) - "Ryan and I rode last night (seemed like riders #3 & 4 back there). With the warm temps yesterday the western exposed trails were rather slushy and at times unrideable. Up near the summit of the tourne and the trails running off of it things where still really good and hardpacked. Lets hope it either A) gets cold and the snow sets again, or B) gets warm and melts."
Wawayanda Average (12-20) - "Wawayanda & Jungle Habitat are frozen and snowy...it may get better Sunday when the temps warm up to soften the top layer of ice. We have had lots of snow and ice and freezing conditions the past 2 weeks."
Wildcat WMA Average (11-27) - ?
