The annual TOS Shuttle is a point-to-point XC ride that starts at the top of Skyline Drive in Oakland, NJ and ends in Ringwood State Park. We hit many of the best trails with a few bomber downhill sections. At the end we shuttle back to the Top Of Skyline and celebrate with snacks and a cooler full of cold beer (and Gatorade).
The overall elevation profile shows more descending than climbing but it won’t feel that way. This is an advanced ride with challenging terrain. The first 4 miles are rocky and brutal and inevitably where we lose people (due to mental, physical or mechanical breakdown). Although this is not a hammer fest, we try and keep moving with minimum stops. You definitely need to be in shape. More importantly you need to be comfortable on rocky terrain. These are some of the most technical trails in NJ. Fortunately, there’s a refueling stop around mile 8 with water and Gatorade.
Do you think you have what it takes to join me on this ride? PM or post up if you want in. Vehicle logistics will be figured out closer to the date when we have a solid head count. Hope to see you there!
