Because it was rideable? I did say it was better than Friday and it’s not like the whole trail was muddy. Don’t want to ride through ANY mud? Fine. Then come back in June. LoL! What a joker.
Yup, the spots that were wet were wet and the spots that were muddy were full of mud.😁 Better than Friday but I still went home with a muddy bike.
Lots of this.
And this.
Some of this.
Slowly drying out.

The pump track is nearby but still closed for now.
While you‘re there, you can check out the Columbia rail trail too for more mudless riding.
It’s still in the 40s now in Bridgewater and won’t drop into the 20s until the wee hours. I doubt all that mud will freeze solid if that is what you are hoping for. Give High Bridge a try if you want a mud free ride tomorrow.
It’s still bedding in but I like it. Rollers are a nice touch as are the steep berms. Seems to drain well too since it was pretty solid and dry this morning.
Snashsters summed it up well.
Damp in some places this am but mostly dry to sticky. Only a few low spots on blue were peanut buttery.
Also, there is a small tree blocking white. Didn’t have my Silky and it is a hanger so will let our more skilled woodsmen tackle this one.
Tree on the...
Some hikers stopped and were blocking the whole trail. Politely asked them if I could get by but they could not be bothered.
Ever bump into these guys before? I swear, some people…
Yup conditions A-OK today, especially compared to what other CNJ trail systems must be like today.
Cleared a small tree near the Nassau lot.

Otherwise zero mud. Should be epic this weekend.
I’m here now. It is worse than I expected it. Sampled red and found a tree down which I will address and then go elsewhere. Too wet for my dainty tastes.
Will try to make it out there today in the early afternoon and report back if I do. Hoping the growing season starts soon, that will pull moisture out of the ground even faster.
Don’t mind at all. Got them online for 158 before tax. At that price, they dipped below the magical dollar per gram personal weight weenie threshold I’ve set for myself.
