Never done a OOSish ride, since it’s in the neighborhood going to try to make it

How bad is the climb actually? You guys hyped up the eagles nest climb at CR and that was easy peasy.

3 people have made the climb that we know of.....
and if that isn't enough, ya can keep going.....

The Toughest Trail Climb in NJ

I present to you the toughest trail climb in NJ. https://www.strava.com/segments/14907103 Is it the longest, NO. But it is going to hurt. Is it the most climbing, NO. but once it starts, it is relentless. Is it the steepest, NO. But you are going to hike-a-bike. Is it the most technical...

I'm trying to make it!! Might be few minutes late, but if you get antsy, don't wait and I'll attempt to catch up. Haha!!

 

[Mare]

No might. Will.

 

[RobW]

I love climbing! Wish I could make it... Next time, I guess.

Next time— carpool!

doesn't look steep.....

Strava says the grade approaches 50% (up 6" for every foot forward) - maybe. i'd believe 30% tho.

PS - thanks @jklett for pulling this together. @w_b and @Paul H both had a good ride to get there.

The climbing is not easy - cause it doesn't stop!

Thanks @jklett @Patrick for the tour, RV is very close to me so I appreciated learning the better way to get up Cush and to take the ridge trail on the way back, fun ride.

That was fun, it was nice to meet you! I'm liking this place more every time I attempt to ride it.

CR is to RV like pancakes are to whole potatoes.

Just not smart enough to get this one.

Chimney Rock is flat. Round Valley is round.

I did a race here, maybe 15-20 years ago, it was a run/bike run “king of the hill”? Does the climb start by a damn? Or maybe you ride over a damn to get there?
i remember that climb being a real bitch, I didn’t make it, but I would have been surprised if only 3 people had made it, maybe that’s a different one. That was a really hard duathlon, it started on a road from some parking lot and then you had to go straight up a huge hill. The first person to the top got to be king of the mountain. Kind of like the polka dot jersey. I still remember my calves killing me the next day!

The lift at RV was OOS

I went to RV a health man... came out with coronavirus... shortness of breath and aches
I am kidding... but you get the idea.
