    6 Mile Run Conditions

    This is my first spring in the area. Does Full Suck Mode (FSM) exist at 6 mile (aka the trees drying out the trails in the spring)? The Wissahickon trees can dry out a trail in less than a day.

    sure enough..... just got a notice last week for an added assessment for "renovations". one problem though....nothing has been renovated in over 10 years. we are in the process of appealing. went up $1800 and they somehow are trying to prorate us for 12 months based on "date of completion"...

    will do. rode it last night. although "rocky", it's nothing like the rocks up at Blue Mountain. Everything can be cleaned pretty easily. Just did Blue and Red trails a couple times, though. didnt feel like venturing over to the other side of the park. will join on a monday night once my...

    haha thanks. taxes arent as bad as NY, so I'll take it. Hitting up Chimney Rock for the first time tonight. Have been avoiding due to rain / traffic. Should probably learn it before it starts getting dark at 5 pm and lights are thus mandatory..

    thanks for all the input guys. I think we are going to focus our search in Metuchen or Summit areas. The taxes in Springfield are really high. Maplewood, in our opinion, is a dump.

    this is some good insight for sure. i dont mind driving 15 minutes, as this is what Blue and Graham Hills are for me now. Understand rush hour. It is what it is, I suppose. I should also mention that I frequently go to Philly for work and to visit family/friends. Metuchen is right in the...

    blasphemy, i know. i'm honestly not a fan of either. i think the way that the trails are cut in and around the rocks and the use of terrain is just bad. A lot of up and down with no real flow. This is what I miss about the Wiss. It has techy features, mixed in with really good flow.

    we were looking in Springfield, Summit, Madison and Maplewood. not a whole lot of options. Maplewood is a little too sketchy for us and we decided to stop looking there. I was on board with Springfield until i learned that the legal trails might not happen. dont want to give my money to...

    most likely be riding after 5. could do morning to, but it sounds like traffic will suck in the morning heading west (or north?) on 287. i threw 6 mile out there as an option (because i've ridden there before). honestly, its not my cup of tea. the trails are pretty easy and that sort of...

    I should say, that we have been looking at Metuchen recently. I see its about 20 minutes from Chimney Rock and 6 Mile. That should keep things interesting as both are polar opposite trail types.

    Hey All, I kind of thread-jacked the Watchung posting, so starting my own thread for suggestions. I'm moving from Ossining to North/Central Jersey and looking for good places to buy a house. I work from home (and travel) and my wife works in Mid-Town Manhattan. Ideally, I would like to be as...

    Where would you suggest someone like myself live when their wife wants her Mid-Town commute to be 45 minutes or less?

    sorry, i should say we are moving from Ossining to Northern Jersey. Not "relocating" as you mention. But, having lived in Philly for 4 years and riding Wissahickon every day, I really miss the ability to ride out of my garage and into the woods. Never had an issue at the Wiss with shared use...
