Hey folks, come join us for National Trails Day on Saturday, June 1st at Perrineville Lake Park. We have some light trail work in the morning session, followed by a lunch and an afternoon session consisting of a mountain bike ride, touring 10 miles of new trails. There is another 5 miles of trail across the road for those wishing to ride longer. Come for the whole day or just part of it, a break down of the itinerary is below. This does require registration, but its free. If you haven't been to this park yet, or haven't seen the newest trails, this is a great opportunity to come check it out.

Please fill out a volunteer application if you have not done so, this is required in order to attend, its a Monmouth County Park System event.

I am not sure I can make this, but I will try cause I rode here this past Sunday for the first time and it was fun! I think I parked in the wrong lot (if there is a wrong one), but was able to put in almost 16 miles so I think I hit all the trails. Will Perrineville earn its own thread under the "South Jersey" trail section on mtbnj? With maps, pointers, conditions, etc? :)

They'll need to fill in the forms (paper and pen) then fax or mail it to the proper address...........the committee is adjourned for the summer, so discussion in October, vote in Nov, ratify vote in Dec. requisition to add it to the site, etc. There is always a spelling error, so a change request or two....

Good that you've suggested it, so we can get ahead of the process.

@pooriggy - let me know...

Glad to hear you enjoyed the new trails. There really is no wrong spot to park, a lot of the trails are out and back.
We do need to add this to the South Jersey trail directory, since we've added 10 miles of new flow trails in the last 3 yrs.
Hopefully you can make it out to National Trails Day.

I guess I need to fax over the trail submission form for John Prineville. Let me know what you need from my end.

I have stickers (scratch and sniff or the fuzzy ones) that I can provide as an official seal when the time comes.

I'll come when you post a picture of me there doing all the work!
 
We had a glorious day Saturday to celebrate National Trails Day. This day is a celebration of volunteers as much as it is a recognition of trails, since it's volunteers who primarily maintain our trails throughout the nation.

Thank you to the volunteers who came out Saturday as well as anyone who volunteered on trails in the last year.
