Is this reasonable tech? RV/Cush connector

[Victor I]

I am cool with a challenge but this has been built up in my mind to some sort of mythical land of punishment and penance.

It’s a punishing place but the views from the Ridge are great. Almost makes the hike up worth it. I said to myself most of the ride that I would never go back but after getting to the top of Puke Hill(yes - puke hill), the ride back down was OK. I may go back to RV again but is somewhat of a drive for me. Many other places I would like to explore in the interim.

The climbing is a lot and I hike a bike more than I like(although I am getting a little further up each time). It really is a beautiful place and well worth checking out. It's only punishment if you see it as such.

ride it the other way

Yeah I don't think this is rideable coming from top of Cush. Maybe if the stairs section was smoothed out a bit. A great morning hike/run when you catch the sunrise.

OK - who is going up there tomorrow morning? i need to be out of there by 11:30, so 10:00 start out of cush?

will bring gopro, if i can remember how to use it. you all should get a good chuckle out of that.

will be this loop.

did you mean "go to work during the day" ?

still looking for gopro or photos, disappointed

All this banter about riding through a few friggin' rocks. Suck it up butter cup. Raw is real and rocks are fun, live with it.

Don't make me get @gingertooth on this.

He can come ride it, just don't let him post.....

If you think it is unreasonable then go ride somewhere else. The trails are dumb enough already, they don't need additional help in this regard.

Did @gingertooth tell you to type this?

PS - i (meaning @Norm and I) get to decide where the trail goes or doesn't go -
So there is this, "hey, we've turned you inside-out climbing up this mountain, how about we throw 100yards of climbing rocks/babyheads
at you now...."

I like it, it hasn't been sanitized with any fill-in, it is tougher than that section at the sourlands above the rock pile because of length and grade.
(and i gladly get 3 rocks into that and walk) - I'm just wondering if a B-line or bail-out would attract more customers.

There are plenty of alternate lines at wildcat - nobody complains about them. do the 3' step-up or not, roll-off the whaleback, or not...
or fall off it in my case.

i've got the camera ready - heading over in a bit. I won't be able to post it until late tonight tho -
new job today - announcer at a high school track meet. should be interesting....

Have you been to RV before?

 

[w_b]

Have you been to RV before?

Yes. Many times I ride somewhere else.

Yes. Many times I ride somewhere else.

Ok just curious, because most people who actually go there generally say things like, "For the love of god make these trails better."

Thanks for playing.

Some people think more rocks is better

Taking a random poll. How many times have you ridden RV in the last, IDK, 2 years?

 

[JimN]

Zero times. I've been there like 6-8 times lifetime. I used to go there a few times in early spring after the thaw, because I thought they were the only trails that drain well.

I personally don't think RV is that bad, and I don't mind the climbing. The trails are a little boring and get pretty overgrown, but the main reason I don't go there is because it's too far. Wawayanda is awesome, and I never go there because it's like 40 minutes away. RV is basically the same distance.

I have never been to round valley but the reviews are either it is great or it sucks, doesn’t seem to be much in between. Maybe I’ll check it out in the next two months when it is light at 5.

 

[one piece crank]

I haven't been to RV in many, many years, but I would like to go try it out again. Never been to the Cushetunk side. I have fond memories of riding out-n-back from the boat launch, on a rigid 26'er.

Name 1 person who thinks it is great?
