I never got an answer to my question as to whether it is open.

I rode by on weds afternoon on my road bike on Canfield and did not see any closed signs at that gate.

However, until I know affirmatively whether it is open I will be sticking to the road.

This place takes awhile to dry out after a rain, right?

I was hiding my rides on Strava for a few weeks but I gave up. That shit has been packed every day since the parks closed.

kinda reminds me of that line from an Eagles song. " Call some place paradise; kiss it goodbye" . Or Fight club

im more annoyed by the massive groups of people I have seen riding together on their Walmart bikes and then sitting in the middle of the trail looking at their phones.

Yep. That was happening also at Allamuchy North before the shut down. A place you never see a soul for 9 out of 10 rides. I guess this is the exact reason state parks were shut down. It stinks, but I do understand.

Let's keep it Fight Club for now.

This is a great place to ride. JORBA folks who maintain it have really done a lot to make this smaller park a showcase of MTB trails.

The park drains really well (helps to have mine shaft below trails) and present flow and tech opportunities. Took a spin on the new roughed out trail at the south end. Looks pretty good!!

I meant to post this a few weeks ago... can we get a moment of silence for the log ride that has finally rotted through? I will be holding a niterider light vigil at a later date.

I was never able to ride it start to finish

That’s why I’m sad. I always made it to the hump where it starts to get skinnier and curve and fall off. This was going to be my year!

i was showing some friends around a couple days ago that wanted me to try it...front tire sank straight through the rot when I came over the stump. It’s mush.
