Just got here on Navesink and it’s pouring for the past 20 min. My luck after driving 45 min. Will wait it out and try riding. Hope is passes fairly quickly.
So far not bad. Chests ridge to rocky point is fine. Some punchy rooty climbs you slip due to wetness but all in all. Good to go so far
You bet I stopped right in front of it and walked around. Choppy ride with too much sandy slippage on roots and rocks. Will be perfect tomorrow afternoon.Just finished a loop. The wet roots got the best of me on some climbs I normally have no trouble with. There is a monster tree down on rocky point. If you are riding clockwise out of the rocky point lot watch out for this as you could be moving pretty quick when you come upon it.

So Hartshorne and Huber Woods got 5" of rain on Tuesday night in a span of about 2 hours. I rode Harts yesterday and Huber today and both parks suffered massive erosion. Both are ridable, just different than they were before. Keep alert as the trails and lines have changed.
Troof. I rode there this afternoon and it's in rough shape. Not something that's easily addressed by TM sessions. I think it's caused by just a bad combination of dry weather followed by multiple heavy downpours. Interestingly, there are a bunch of new waterbars on the "middle" section of Rocky Point. Hard to say if they helped, but they sure suck to ride over.So Hartshorne and Huber Woods got 5" of rain on Tuesday night in a span of about 2 hours.

Damn. That park was already significantly eroded in a few areas IMO. Little TM happens there compared to other parks. Sorry to hear.

You're not kidding! Rode there yesterday and was blown away by how much erosion occurred since I was here last month when conditions were as good as I can recall. It will take a monumental effort to address. As you point out it's still rideable but really a shame as prior TM efforts are undermined to a large extent. But if I look on the positive side, the ruts add back some level of difficulty that chainsaw got eliminated
I think whoever is responsible for trial building at the county should pull their heads out of the sand...
