I didn't see a thread for Frederick Watershed in MD.

Thinking of heading over to ride tomorrow & Sat. I've been tracking the weather and it was above 50* sunny all week. Anyone know the conditions and if it is ridable?

@Dave Taylor lives next door. Maybe he can give an update

@Sevenz doesn't Higgins live there?

A better way of organizing "outside nj" is on the list.
it keeps getting bumped because of budget restrictions.
if we get to the end of the year, and there is any $$ left, i'll put it in.
organization is a spend-it or lose-it type - can't bridge it to next cycle (pun!)

It was rideable last weekend as a freezethaw. The Hamburg road side by three sisters should be mint. It's 60 degrees here the last two days and I am about 3 miles away.

How many days of riding can you get in here and do you need someone that knows the trail system to guide you the first time? Looking to setup a trip down here this spring

Yup...He rode the shed this afternoon and said slightly soft but not damaging soft. The shed is always a blast!

I guess if I rode more, I would have seen that on Strava….

If you give me a heads up I can give you a tour. 908-727-3447. There are two parks(Gambrill and fws). Depending on fitness you can spend up to two days in there.

Thank you once I have a better idea of dates I will hit you up, my fitness is poor just an FYI but who knows maybe I can make some progress in the next 2-3 months

I am going for a run up there in a bit. We got about 2" of fresh snow last night. Seriously some of the best trails around. They didn't even put the good stuff in the nationals.

The best riding around. I need move out NJ and Fredrick MD seems like a nice place. Especially since Greenbrier, Rivers Edge, and Michaeux are close by. The new housing development near the trails (Kellerton?) got me thinking...

Here's a short clip of Catovid.

@Dave Taylor what's the emtb scene? Are they down or is it a frown?

Looks like there was a pretty cool rock line on the right.

Yes I was sessioning most of the features including that rock. I was unable to make it flow or feel right. Not sure if it's a huck to flat or a smaller drop to the left of it. I need to follow or watch some vids on how the locals do it.

Not sure but I haven't seen any yet.
