Bridge from Newmans lot to white trail closure https://www.somersetcountyparks.org/home/urgent-alerts/trail-closure-lord-stirling-park-sourland-mountain-preserve-and-washington-valley

@Kirt right now Veloraptors showing one coach as a yes. 2 coaches and 2 youths as maybes.

Got out this morning and lucked out on timing, everything frozen. Did the whole park save Cromwell. That said, aside from red and yellow, I don't think the rest of the place is rideable as temps rise. Saw too many spots that were clearly gonna be greasy w/ a few more degrees. The next...

Offense is the best defense. Just spitballing here, that’s all I got — need someone else to finish the thought.

Anyone notice if this is really meant for road/sidewalk situations and not really trails? Seems all the bad interactions in the news are NOT trail related. Doesn’t mean it won’t be a ham fisted applies everywhere law, just wondering.

There will definitely be many peanut buttery spots. My highly scientific (sarcasm) estimate is that about 30-40% if not more of the trails yesterday were very dark in color, I.e. holding moisture but frozen and will not be frozen today. Several spots while frozen were clearly badly carved up by...

Rode the whole park today less Cromwell, conditions nice and crusty. Someone got to the tree on orange so everything seems clear.

Daughter unit has 2 games so I’m with her all day, seeing if any of the NICA team is available.

Took the doggette on a ride/run to clear some trees. Not surprising w/ temps in the 20s all day, the ground was nice and crusty. Cleared a tree up on green/pink area and the one just off Gilbride lot. Ran out of time and didn't get to the one on orange yet.

Dang @christryon I feel left out!

OK so I'm not the only one w/ aging items on my list, PHEW! In a similar boat, I have a few trips that are interesting to me, but would be better done not alone, and of my friends that ride none are remotely possible to organize any sort of big trip with.

Working on coordinating some of the 2025 NJ NICA State Champ Somerset Hills Veloraptors to come and help.

Correct on all counts. Cromwell closed most days (except Sundays and I think Xmas week) thru mid/late February; it’s the circled section. Rest of park only closed first 6 or 7 Wednesdays of 2026.

Have both, 2 bike 1up and 4bike velocirax and no issue with either, they hold the bikes secure. Nice thing about velocirax is (assuming they still do this, have had mine for years) it comes with a wall mount for the garage so when not in use it’s bike storage, not taking up dead space.

went looking for this one, looks like someone beat me to it got this one @Red Mosquito ty for the info

If someone else doesn't step up as lead then I'm down for this. Calling shotgun on RED since I live on it haha.

Stop being such a racist. What about the yellowjackets and wasps?

Dang, end of a helluva an era!

I feel betrayed, that plan was growing on me
