Is there still issues on those trails, or the park just hasn't gotten around to opening them yet?
As far as I know, the NJ State Forestry something-or-other still needs to come in and give the ok. So you know, could be 4 years waiting on the state to show up.
Great ride today fellas.

Diminishing Fun Monday - Sept 2 -
1st day of the Strava Escape Plan
Change of time: 9:00am sharp
Change of venue: Parking at Pickell Park, riding Cushetunk Mountain preserve, and Round Valley
Estimated time: 3 hours, 2+ moving

There is quite a bit of climbing, and a certain amount of cursing that goes with riding Cush/RV -
Embrace it, and you'll have a
this is the image the marketing department delivered - i'm not sure they get the idea of attracting customers.....
