- Start date
6 pm friday and 7 am sunday
If I can do Saturday, I'll join you. I'm just not sure yet
Pete's the man to ride with, but if 6 is too late on Friday, I'll be riding earlier. I'l be up there with Mr pixy earlier to finish off the kiosk. We plan to ride as well, and be heading out around 3:30 and 4:30 for a few laps with Team Campmor.
OK let me know what day you can make it and I'll make it that day, since both Mergs and Pixy say you are the man to ride with. If it's Sunday at 7:00 then it's Sunday at 7:00.
I'm flattered. 7 am on sunday, and I think we have some company as well. I drive a red nissan.
Yeah, sounds like we do have company. I drive the car with the guy there that you won't already know. At these hours fellow bikers are pretty sparse usually, especially considering the temps might be mid-low 40s that morning. My car is also red.

well, showed up for a ride with one group of people, before the ride with the other group of people, and ended up riding most of the time with a completely different group of people. lots of bikes in the park this afternoon. course looks good. measured out to right around 6 miles on my gps for one lap.

i stopped home after work to get my bike to make a 3:30 ride w/ pixie, decided to relax for a half hour and go for the 4:30 or 6:00 ride, my half hour relaxation plan turned into 3 hours of coma like sleep, I woke up at 7:15 thinking i slept through the night, ugh... Is anyone riding JH tomorrow, Saturday???

Trail Markings...
Anyone riding tomorrow, around mid-morning? Did the trail on Saturday and found it very much to my liking and will be a regular. One caveat is the trail markings seem to end on the rock bridge with the decaying barn structure on the left. I turned around at this point.

I'll be there. I assume we are starting on Airport Rd somewhere. I'm the blue VW Golf.

Hello all- I'm new to mtbnj- just posted on first timers 
... but I digress. Pete- thanks for your help today! I rode JH this afternoon and got a little lost- about 4.5 miles into the ride (starting at the kiosk) after going through the tunnel and starting to climb you make a right and continue to climb until you come to an intersection with 3 different trails but no markers! AH! We each took a route and went a little ways but couldn't find any more markers. Sunset was approaching so we turned around but could anyone give me some direction, which way does the race route go?
The rest of it was marked well and it was fun! Although the switchback climb just after the kiosk was a little tough for someone who has a lot to learn about riding over rocks (well riding over anything) while turning and going up hill....

Where do you guys come up with these kooky thoughts?
How did I miss this post yesterday? Man I thought I was getting up early!

sharose, the markings might be a little off. after the first singletrack climb(with all the switchback), take a right on the pavement, then the first left to go up over the bridge(over the tunnels). once over the bridge, go left. take a right at the next intersection, then a right again. go about 50 yrds and take a right through the gate. follow this trail all the way around the parking lot. when you come out, go straight up the parking lot till you see a left turn. take this and go straight through the right tunnel. from there it should be pretty well marked, but:
pavement-
right
straight across.
right
right
dirt with rock garden-
right at end
pavement-
right turn then a long climbto start of fireroad
dirt-
right onto fireroad climb.
right at top onto singletrack
straight across
right turn
down rocky descent
pavement-
right turn
dirt-
left high speed turn(100yds after getting on pavement)
left
cross pavement and down another singletrack section
pavement-
pass first right, then immediately take the next right turn
continue straight, around hairpin, then climb to the next singletrack
dirt-
right turn drop into a fast fun singletrack along a fenceline
pavement-
left at end of singletrack
climb to next right, a short steep, paved climb to the beginning of the first singletrack you hit.
this is what the course looked like on friday, but i think they're gonna change some stuff.

Pete,
Thanks for the tour today. Not sure what happened to you at the end, but thanks!
That was the largest group ride ever. By the end the entire park was one long line of bikes. When I left at 9:20 there were at least 36 cars that I counted, and I may have missed a few.
