Dickerson Mine Preserve Conditions

[Id_rather_be_skiing]

I would say don't do or say anything to them, just go about your ride. If you want, you can call the Wharton, PD to report it but they will likely try and meet up with you and waste your daylight. In the 12 years we have been involved here, not a single ticket has been written so I doubt 2020 is the year they start.

Skinny is running good!

Were you the one working on it? I rode by. Probably should have stopped, but I'm worthless at skinnies.

There is a moto pit at DM - if he isn't rippin' up the single track, it is all good.

Just passed someone on a green dirt bike (Kawasaki?) on yellow. Not sure what the protocol is in the future.

Would you report moto use if you were unsure if it was illegal? i need 50 votes/opinions please.

So you have the WARN NJDEP app, and you are cruising along some connecting trail, and see some moto going on. You are unsure about the land use in the area. the crew is ripping it up, and it doesn't look like a moto pit. (ie the one at dickerson mine, or wildcat) Would you report it? If...

Thanks. I'll be prepared next time!

Yeah, trying to get rid of some of the brush on the back end ramp

 

[Id_rather_be_skiing]

All good after the storm, dirt was great. Thanks for showing how out of shape I am whoever blew past me.

GAP JUMPS AND BERMS!?! Yooooo!! I am SO glad I decided to come to the old stomping grounds to dial my new bike. So much leafy goodness. So much shred.

Even after the rain, overall very good conditions. Leaves a bit slick but otherwise ok despite rain .

 

[mtbiker87]

Any snow on the left on the ground there ? Thinking of trying these trails out for the first tommorow while in the area, and trying to decide which bike to bring.

Snow? Srzly?

 

[mtbiker87]

Yeah snow. Up here in Vernon there's still some in the more shaddy spots, although today's rain took care of most that at this point.

 

[Soundguy]

DM is kind of in a weird pocket for snow. When I lived in Morristown all of our snow could be long gone then I drive 20 min up the road to Dickerson and it would be unrideable.

 

[mtbiker87]

It's the same way up here. It can be a dusting in the valley, but a few inches on the ground in Wayway, that will stick around for bit even after it melts off elsewhere.

 

[ebarker9]

I haven't been there since the snow-ish event, but I live about 5 minutes away and have a hard time imagining that there's snow on the trails.

 

[Soundguy]

Now? No. Saturday? Maybe a little.

Planning to ride it later today, will post up conditions. If it's as windy there as it is here there might be some blowdown.

 

[ebarker9]

It's extremely windy.

 

[Soundguy]

LOTS of branches down, but nothing big that I saw. I cleared a bunch of small debris and my bike ate a thousand sticks. Oh, and if the trails weren’t leafy enough for you there is now triple the leaves! It was pretty awesome lol. Orange trail was basically non existent though.

Side note - I cannot get enough of the gap jump at the top of Marty’s. It’s so smooth.

 

[ebarker9]

The amount of leaves down is pretty hilarious. I ride this place all the time and I got lost in a couple of places. I also ran into a couple of Marty's guys and they mentioned that they may try to clear the trails once more of the leaves have come down.

Monday I was blasting across that off camber fast section after the rocks on Blue and just started drifting sideways down the hill...it was pretty comical lol.
