Lewis Morris Conditions

[icebiker]

Hey Greg. It's Dean Crago. Hope all is well. I was at LM on May 27th and saw at least two downed trees as well.

Good to hear from you Dean! Thanks for the intel. Let me know if you want to meet up for a ride during the week.

Some puddles in low areas but mostly pretty nice this morning. Big tree down on PP on the other side of Mendham Rd

Any reports on how Lewis Morris is looking today for a ride? Still too much water from Ida? Thanks.

Did a quick ride on yellow this AM - a handful of slick spots that can be avoided, rest of the trail is dry. Didn’t come across any standing water. Some spots of trail are pretty eroded, assuming as a result of Ida. Overall in pretty decent shape

I'm in Morristown and it's currently raining. 🙁

Not sure which sections you are referring too, but a lot of trails have been pretty eroded for years now. Parts of the old orange and yellow especially (can't remember the new blaze colors)

LewMo was outstanding yesterday. Great conditions. Minor softness in the normal spots. Good riding and great cardio climbing the hills. Very little additional erosion from what previously existed.

Trails were in great shape today. Haven't been there in a while so rode new Green for the first time. Very nice work. 2 trees down on old green right after you cross the street from the new section.

This afternoon it was a bit slick and a few mud puddles in the usual spots after last night's rain but overall it was fine. Get some.

usual lewmo, leaves are starting to hide some of the ruts, roots, & rocks.

Went for a walk…this is new by whitehead road after the climb right next to the trail.

what the?!

 

[Id_rather_be_skiing]

what the?!

You got me… Either the property line is a lot closer than we know or someone thinks they own the forest

 

[Id_rather_be_skiing]

Past few days of wind really covered the trails. Came across a large bear just after the bridge climbing yellow.

Going to be in the area tomorrow. This place in any shape to ride?

It should be ok. Wear orange it is hunting season.

 

[onetracker]

OK. Sounds like the place will not be muddy. Looks like no hunting with guns (only bow) in Lew Mo tomorrow unless I am reading this wrong…

 

[mtb1]

Lewmo was closed today for hunting with guns. I tried to take a ride at lunch and didn’t realize it would be closed down. I have there the last few weekends and didn’t see anyone with bows.

 

[Id_rather_be_skiing]

greasy in a lot of areas, the muddy spots are really muddy.

I was hoping to ride tomorrow evening. I am assuming it will be icy, any locals think it will be ridable?
