For 2012… we’ve scheduled the Saturday Night Ride to run earlier, wheels out at 6:00, back before 9:00.
Saturday February 4 Trail Maintenance
Current plan is to ride the six miles to the PennBranch Trail's NE corner and clip back the two overgrown scub oak sections. (2011 stayed dry long enough for us to finish that one cool re-pair/re-route on the west side. But the storms that followed made it difficult for us to get the trailer and equipment back to the NE corner.) We’ll be meeting near the trail head in the Batsto Visitor Center parking lot at 9:00. Quitting time is before 12:30. Bring bike, helmet, hydration. We can supply clippers and work glovesif you need them. If you've never ventured past the Huckleberry Trail turnoff, this is a great opportunity to become familiar with that area.
Saturday February 25 Night Ride
For JORBA members and WSF trail volunteers. Wheels out at 6:00 (or maybe even 6:15), back before 9:00pm. Fun conversational no-drop pace on the inner loops. The WSF staff allows JORBA members and WSF volunteer trail workers to meet after dark in the Batsto Visitor Center parking lot, near the trail head, for this ride. (Please do not park in this lot after hours w/o prior permission. You will be visited by the Park Police.) Helmet and light required. A fair amount of humor is recommended.
Tentative dates for night rides in the coming months include March 24 & April 28. Tentative trail maintenance dates include March 3 & April 7. Will update w/details here on MTBNJ and on the JORBA calendar. http://www.jorba.org
