    Wawayanda Down Trees - Intel? Crowd Sourcing Your Observations...

    Got this one today so gravity is all clear except for the gaggle of logovers towards the end which I vote we keep as they're good fun to punch over. Also rode tombstone, pines, t-dog and Buddha and they're clear as well

    I knew old Pete would have the straight dope. Something didn’t look right about that new building and I’ve noticed the sensitive artist types milling about for the last couple weeks. Rode through today and it was a real 3 ring circus. Hope the park is getting in on that fat hollywood money!

    Wawayanda State Park Conditions

    Prepacked trails are running fast and crunchy. Today will be the last chance to get some magic crust riding before it all melts down. PSA.... Don't ride snow covered trails in the afternoon warmth like the dingus I was tracking on pumphouse. You'll have a bad ride and create a fossil record of...

    Mahlon Dickerson Reservation Conditions

    currently 13 degrees so mud is not a concern but ice might be If not running studs. Trails that were previously packed in are running hard and fast and the untouched might be firm enough to stay on top with a fat enough tire. It’s the last real day of winter so you might as well give it a shot.

    Singletrack is riding better than I expected. Lake loop is well compacted.

    Too deep for a ride so I took a ski and cleared a tree. Beginning of pumphouse.

    Fat tire rim tape advice.

    Sun ringle tape has always worked for me. The key is to getting a perfect seal is to bed in the newly installed tape with a tube inflated to 20 psi overnight. You still might end up using the fatty strippers because they enable some pretty questionable rim/tire combos to run without burping or...

    Pumphouse bridge floodwaters are frozen solid so a lake lap is possible. The snow seems extra draggy for how much there is and this was before the extra we got yesterday. This is as far as I made it.

    If you had told me a week ago that I’d be riding ice today, I would have said you’re crazy. Yet here we are.

    Good on ya for keeping the trails running and I dig the avatar. I don’t ride the mooch, but I know they have a quad problem there. Would it not be better to cut the logs to single track width? I shoot for 30-36 inches for aesthetics and to filter out the riff raff. No sense in accommodating law...

    I know the feeling. Sometimes you just gotta get out and throw some chips. There's this little head bopper on hemlock that will need some attention.

    Yep, that makes it worse. Anyone in insurance know how this plays out?

    Bronco driver only has himself to blame. That hemlock was probably standing dead for ten years.

    Moto damage on sip of sunshine. Looks like he had a bit of trouble at the log bridge.

    Another rainy weekend, another mud race on the trails of Wawayanda.

    Hamburg WMA

    The area has a lot of potential and I remember there was a push to build more single track several years ago. The existing trails are mostly free of any tech and are used primarily by quads. Also keep in mind the whole area is in wildlife management, so hunting is its main use and there is...

    Sitting bear. That was the worst I saw but I haven’t been everywhere since the race.

    That’s really what it comes down to, IMO. How much money is changing hands? If it’s only a pittance, then the impact should be much more closely regulated. But if Ragnar is paying salaries of park personnel then I don’t think trail wear is much of a concern in the eyes of the LM. Hopefully, the...

    Sitting bear and south end got the worst that I saw where the tread is just liquified. Luckily, they stayed off new timber. Pickle and hemlock were unused as well. Curious to see what Plymouth looks like.
