It's that time of year again. As I came up the road I saw a Red Honda come out near Tomac's drop and high tail down the road, so when I pulled in the Hospital Road lot my senses were alert. As I started to unload my bike I hear two four strokes coming up from the campground (
I was in the Hospital Road lot) so I grabbed my phone and went to the trail head to see them coming my way:
Once I started to film the license plates the front rider swatted at my hand/arm and knocked my phone down, I think it was going to get worse until I reminded him that it was assault and I am sure he realized the packed lot was right there and he was on video. At the same time his buddy put his bike in 1st and lunged the bike at me (
when I bent down to grab my phone, sorry it is upside down post pickup).
I called the park office but got a machine. I will file a report tomorrow and encourage all to report this video to the park by calling the main office at the following: 732-938-2164
These guys knew where they were going and what they were doing, especially knowing Herbertsville Road as the one rider asks directions to. I believe
@Mitch also saw them enter the trailhead.
Moto's have no place in the park due to the dangers they present equestrians, hikers and cyclists alike. Not to mention the issues they cause to the trails.
Please be careful in situations like this. I was near the main lot that was packed with people and stood near the road for visibility by those in the lot who I just excused myself from a conversation with.
Thank you - Johnny
