this is part of sanctioning the trail and getting it on the map. The blazing is being done by the Trail Conference in partnership with JORBA

I can speak for the reasons of closing Red Dot trail. When I was out last week clearing blowdowns I came across a dangerous tree along the trail. It's a 70' tall dead tree, split at about 5' up to another 20' or so. If the wind blows the right way and someone is in the area it will kill someone...

I will be using the Twin Bridges back. I was out last night and cut most of the trees on Red Dot but in one area there is a dangerous split tree along the trail. I am not comfortable sending people through there and thus need to change this. The section of Red Dot from both ends where it...

The June 1, 2025 Iron Furnace Course will be 22 miles starting and finishing in the furnace area. We expect this to be a challenging but fun course slightly shorter then the previous Bearscat Race we promoted. Options for 1 or 2 laps. The MASS Race requiring the 2 Lap option to be scored in the...

how big are the trees on pump house?

I will get out there this weekend, recovered from a couple of broken ribs enough to hike out and work on red dot. From there will move on to other locations as reports come in.

The project on pumphouse was a NYNJ trail conference project. They are done, haven’t been back so it looks like it will fall on us to fix it just haven’t had the time with building the new Timber section. I agree, I rode there today and aside from some tracks on the road leading out to sitting...

I am sure they will be back just like they were two years agoto take down the pin flags they left all over the park.

What trail is this?

Once over the first climb settle into a comfortable pace, it is easy to overextend going out decker valley and crowfield to aid 1. It helps to be in a group but unless you have some road miles you can easily overextend here and when you hit the repeated climbs after Aid 1 you will have paid the...

If you don't have the desire to raceTSEPIC then you definitely should take a few days and camp, grab the course info from ridewithgps and do some of the courses. TSE courses can be ridden by camping in Rothrock or one of the private campgrounds and it's a short drive to park someplace to get you...

It actually is going to be called Timber from south all the way up to Turkey Ridge

This project is being lead by the NYNJTC and they have done all the scheduling. I think they are expecting to get this done within those three dates. Watch for other work dates for the new trail planned as these will be varying weekend dates and we would be glad to have help on that project.

that's what she said
