Chimney Rock Conditions

[Off The Road Again]

Rode most everything except Blue on Sunday, trails were in great shape.

 

[Kirt]

11/3- pretty much good to go. Lots of branches from the recent winds but very little standing water or mud. Should be even better tomorrow.

I still got off the couch at 9am this morning knowing it was a mistake.

Kidding aside, glad you got me out. College visits for the boy tomorrow, so no biking.

 

[Kirt]

Expect some closures.

On Friday 11/15/19 the NJ Forest Fire service will be conducting a controlled burn at Washington Valley Park.

Toure d’ chimney: Rode from Newman’s to red Orange yellow black ballfields and white.
Overall rideable thou thawing. Fortunately not much mud was thawed.

Chimney reds and blues were rideable but trending sloppy this morning.

 

[Off The Road Again]

Rode CR at 9 a.m. today. Lower Blue was wet, mostly standing water not muck. Rode outer Red which was excellent. Orange, Yellow and White were all good. End of ride temps were nearing 40, so yeah frost areas would be sloppy. Glad I got this ride in, it will be a mess the next few days or week.

Conditions for tomorrow morning?

Conditions for tomorrow morning?

Good enough to ride. We worked on yellow today and it was solid, Kirt rode yesterday and said the trails were fine, a few wet spots but isolated. Ride while you can, I see rain coming in Monday.

 

[Kirt]

You’ll get dirty for sure but won’t do any real damage, enjoy.

 

[goldsbar]

Agree on the dirty but no damage. The ground was firm, but the puddles weren't really frozen. A good amount of wet spots. Place was in great shape for the (almost) winter. Barely any branches down and zero snow. Much different than my usual up north.

 

[qclabrat]

Perfectly firm all around, some soft areas after 10, but I should be rideable all day. Patrick sighting as I was heading out

 

[Kirt]

WEDNESDAYS ONLY: JAN 8, 15, 22, 29, AND FEB 5

Any conditions update for 12/20 around 2:00? Wishful thinking but I'm sure it'll be a mud pit at that time.

Saw 1 ride report that it is crazy icy. That's all I've got.

suppose to be around freezing and in the woods will probably be fine at 2pm. As Kirt said, just watch out for the ice
I'll be doing my biyf ride and fixing the Coney Island plank tomorrow AM, on studded tires...

Dumbass forgot to bring a hammer as I bought decking screws. Got most of the frozen chunks out but will need to remove the nails. It's on pretty snug, if someone doesn't beat me to it, I'll finish the job when I get back in a few days.

Also the park was good and frozen this AM.
