What do you think the conditions will be like today?
no good. we had close to 4" of rain last night on an already saturated ground. give it a few days.

Looks like the weather is going to be great until a possibility of scattered storms on Thursday. Fingers are crossed and I am so stoked to check out a new place!it should be dry by wednesday if we don't get anymore rain.
I need to find a gas station that has power so that I can get some air in my tires.... The pump I have sucks
There is a LBS right on rt36 not too far from Hartshorne....go buy a good pump! I just replaced my 12yr old Blackburn with a new one from my LBS for $25, it works great and fits in my Camelback.

Huber is beat-up. some trees down. at least one completely blocks trail. leaves and little branches completely cover trail. Huber is rideable though.
Hartshorne is worse off. did Laurel Ridge and Grand Tour. Laurel Ridge in particular is f'd up. tree-after-tree blown over in one portion (single track portion right before the Laurel Ridge hill).
speaking of the Laurel Ridge hill...if ever there was a trail section that needed to be put out of its misery this is it. it's been getting progressively worse over the last few years but this storm was the closer. it basically consists of roots, loose rocks and gullies at this point. and it is now completely COVERED with debris. I am not kidding that it would probably take less effort to cut a NEW TRAIL than to try and rehab that section of trail. please put that section out of its misery!!
Garrett's shop Kranky Cycles is right down the hill in Highlands. I don't know how he did with the storm but he is a great wrench. Just sorted out my bike with 10 speed XT before a trip to VT.
Garrett is the man! He's a great wrench and a strong rider. Him and I have had a few rides together and what he can do on a hardtail, most cats can't do on a full 5+ squish! Support his shop!
Yup, real solid guy that I've known since he was at Peddler in Red Bank. He has seen it all on the bike stand. Glad he has his own gig going on now.
Like you said dogo - support the rider owned shops!
you mean Bike Haven in Fair Haven right? Though he did tell me he also worked at the Peddler in Long Branch years ago.
Nope, Peddler in Red Bank. They had a shop there and another in Eatontown called Budget Bikes. Right where the EMS is actually. They had a little DJ section on the side of the shop as well at the Eatontown store - that was probably back in '98 I think. I think Garret went over to Bike Haven after the Peddler Red Bank closed.
