6 Mile Run Conditions

[Patrick]

The 2nd highest on blue..They were fine but saoked for the rest of the ride.

well, good there was support, and everything ended up ok - even if wet, and a little cold.

Not the first to go off the side of those! I'll try to find some pics of what the bridges looked like before @jdog replaced them. (with kudos to all involved)

If anyone has a pic of what the bridges looked like on yellow back in the day that would be cool to see. The forbidden trail used to be on the other side of the stream, down in the muck. You’d get to the trailhead by going in the backyard of the house at the canal lot. There were a bunch of old terrible bridges that were back there on what was once the yellow trail. Also had a teeter totter.

That trail gone?

Long gone - without a trace.

there are some remnants of the older trails upstream from the concrete bridge.

I love hearing about the history of 6MR.

I remember when the yellow trail marker was still there off of blue by the fields. I still look for it once in a while, but I'm pretty sure J removed it a while back.

I remember those days of getting lost on red and water crossings too. Good times.

Before the mega bridge was installed, doing that water crossing in the middle of February.

This bridge was a game changer. I used to try the ratchet pedal through the stream so you avoided the 12/6 position on the pedals.

Brush fire at Millstone River. Not sure if this affects 6MR yet.

Yesterday morning was great. Only a handful of soft spots. Will be even better tomorrow.. Have fun.

There's a handful of regulars on weekday mornings, but chances are you won't even see them on the trails.

@THATmanMANNY - anything interesting happen?

 

[THATmanMANNY]

I have no knowledge. I got home late last night and I was quite surprised myself. Check the Millstone Borough FB page. Mayor is pretty good about updating the locals. Unfortunately, access to FB App needs validation which is good ha

So it’s a mulch fire. Thing was burning as of last night. Heard those things never go out.
