Pinelands 40 (miles)

[sandman]

Save this date. Feb.5,2022; It will either be, Wharton, Carranza start, or Brendan T Byrne, office start.
Any thoughts on which place?
Wharton has a long tradition. But all the single track between Carranza and the Batsto trails have closed up and not used.
BTB has a lot of single track from the start. Enduro trails, fire cuts.
I'm okay with either place, but a decision needs to be made this week.

Can 2.35 tires navigate the route conditions?

Can 2.35 tires navigate the route conditions?

Yes. 15 years ago, when I started this, I picked the winter because the sand would be frozen. No one had fat bikes in our group.

Glad I didn't pick this date for the 40.

Do we need to confirm attendance or can we just show up? Where exactly at BTB is the starting point? Thank you.

 

[carvegybe]

Also, what is the pace? Is the food BYOF? Is there a $ cost to the event? Is water wet? What is the answer to everything?

A summary post about this event would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

No need to confirm, but it would be nice to know that you are showing up. As stated above, the office at 8am. From the circle where Rt. 72 starts its journey to LBI, at the 1-mile marker, turn into BTB.

It is a 7 hour day. It is not a catered affair. The only cost is the time taken to do this ride. Bring wet water. The dry stuff just doesn't work. And! The answer to everything is, GO RIDE A BIKE!

None of us that ride with you believe you Jim!

Ok, I'm in subject to weather conditions supporting a 2.4 tire.

What’s the approx start time?
A 40 in snow? Yiiikes

 

[carvegybe]

Wed-Fri looking warm enough to melt the snow and Sat looks cold enough to make surface harder. Could be a perfect set up.

I just don't know if the love of my life can handle 7 hrs of sand in the drivetrain...that is relationship-breaking friction possibly. I might take my dirty ex instead.

Don't over think this.
