need the Wawayanda tour

[PTB66]

I'm thinking about doing the Wawayanda H2H race (cat 3) but I've never been there (or anywhere up north) before.
Looking to get some kind of tour on Sunday (5th) around 9:30-10:00am so I can get an idea of what I'm in for.
Post up if interested in giving a tour or if others that have never been there want to check out some new terrain with me.

I've been there once and would love to hop on a tour tomorrow.

I think I'm going to try this on my own tomorrow. Found some maps, trail info and a pretty detailed route to take that looks like last years race course.
I should be there around 930-10 If I can get my ass out of the house by 8...Still if anyone wants to join in or better yet, lead that would be cool.

You need to ride this place before the race. I usually ride 6 mile, Allaire and Hartshorne...None of these compare to the terrain up there...I'm not saying it's better...Just completely different. Definitely more technical.
On some trails it's rock garden after rock garden.
I was lucky enough to hook up with a few guys up there who gave me a tour. It's tough stuff if you're not used to it.
In my time there I endo'd once, got a knot on my shin , wet foot, from getting stuck in a rocky ass stream crossing and swallowed a bug.
One guy bent his derailer hanger, another got a puncture in the shin after an endo...good times.

Still, the whole time there I was smiling ear to ear. It's just so different it was like learning to ride all over again.
Very cool. Had a blast. Goin back for more next week.

Rocks take some getting used to.

That's pretty much how i'd describe my experience there! This place is huge and has the potential for so many trails.

Thanks...Lets see what the weather does. I'm going to try to get there once a week before the race.

Nope.

The guys I rode with were John,Dino,George.

including one black bear.....

I saw about 4 or 5 guys hit the trail about 5 minutes before me. I took the same route and saw them coming back..As they were riding by they told me there was a huge black bear a little ways up the trail and suggested I turn around.
