Mahlon Dickerson Reservation Conditions

[JimN]

I guess I'll bring the fat bike. I wish the snow was sticking down here in South Jersey, it's long gone.

Sparta got a foot of snow, not sure it'll be worth it.

Thanks, I guess I'll ride Black Run again...

Tourne may be good for a snow ride. That's usually my go-to bc it gets packed from lots of traffic.

Thanks, might do that. I have a fat tire bike and can take fresh snow, but not when it's a foot deep

Any intel on trail conditions for today and potentially tomorrow?

will be a sloppy mess with melting snow like just about everywhere else through the weekend

currently 13 degrees so mud is not a concern but ice might be If not running studs. Trails that were previously packed in are running hard and fast and the untouched might be firm enough to stay on top with a fat enough tire. It’s the last real day of winter so you might as well give it a shot.

It's nice to see some of the big logs finally cleared from Ghost and some other places🙂

Must be a soupy mess for the next few days

Mahlon drains really well.

I was able to clear a bunch of reported blowdowns today. Here's what I did...except the one Ghost, which had such a nice rock ramp that it didn't seem right to hack it out.

Much appreciated

Trail report on the MD...

On today's ride it wasnt bad. Lots of debris, washout but probably to be expected. The first one is a navigable mess, slightly incovenient but just posting regardless.

The next mess is at the intersection where you would head over to black magic, blue moon, rock and roll. That's some scary ish.

See photos.

3 large trees down on Tiger Blood … see photo and Garmin locations. Chain saw needed.

3 trees down on tiger blood simply adds just more things I can't clear, so def a non-issue.

Can someone post up a good loop for this park? Planning to ride there for the first time.

 

[TommyF]

When are you planning to ride there? I know a good loop and some buddies that know it really well.

No plans yet. Expect to mostly ride solo during the week. DM me a strava if you got one, thanks
