Where was the bike sign?
Looks rideable, but not when you're there
still can't cross the stream though
I thought of you after I typed that, I mean I couldn't ride it. Ha.That is a really cool area for hiking.
It's mostly rideable
I got about about a third of the way across once and then turned back.
Across the river is also cool, I was riding there once and got lost.
The yellow is definitely a J Nagy type trail.
That's a strange part of the park, Trailforks says it's Watershed property, but all the maps say it's Wawayanda property almost all the way to Steven's road. Even across Clinton road is Wawayanda all the way down to and including Bearfort, where it then is Warershed. I wonder who on Trailforks decided to call parts of Wawayanda Watershed. Maybe that was easier to call it that than explain that it is Wawayanda, but they really don't want you there with a bicycle.I've ridden the yellow trail from over by Stephens Rd down to that awesome sign at the P7 trailhead. It has some killer gnar and is pretty fantastic. I've never ridden that section from up by your neighborhood though, I'll have to check it out sometime soon.

i rode that part,from Clinton Rd to get into Wawa,it is certainly feel kinda eerie feeling when i rode passing it,,that was like 14yrs ago before Strava.That's a strange part of the park, Trailforks says it's Watershed property, but all the maps say it's Wawayanda property almost all the way to Steven's road.

I got on Blue trail thinking I knew where it would take me,
but I gave up when I saw it was going left and I wanted to go right.
So my morning ride gave me 99.8 miles for the week, so I knew I had to ride again just to make 100 at least.
Went to the motorcycle swap meet in Pine Island, NY. It’s always a nice ride on country roads,
and I’m always amazed at the friendliness of everyone along the way. On coming cars wave to me
and people on their porches give a friendly wave, not like NJ. These locals are very friendly.
I avoid the main road because now it’s apple pickers from the cities coming around and it’s deadly on the roads.
Back roads is what I ride. Saw what I think was an ostrich on a farm. It rained on and off for my fourteen mile round trip ride,
but it was refreshing. A pint of beer was $5 as opposed to yesterday’s $13 Guinness at Grasshopper bar.
Saw lots of people I know at the swap meet and had a great ride. Didn’t stay long because of other obligations,
but it was lots of fun.

Dave was a last minute replacement. I was going to let you know!Had a nice ride this morning, hit some trails and visited the Ragnar foot race compound, quite a set up.
This afternoon I decided to return to Ragnar and visit their Beer Garden, it’s a highlight every year.
Got to the park and there was another biker unloading his bike for a ride. He said he was new here, so I said I had a map,
but he replied he has his phone with a map. Good, Not knowing what he likes in trails,
I said Hoeferlin is right here and continues across the street. He decided to go Hoeferlin to Iron Mountain,
I said good, Now off to Ragnar for a beer. The Beer tent is empty! It’s 11:30 AM, sign says open at 11AM.
Next to the Beer Garden is another beer tent. Athletic Brewing Co. non alcoholic beer.
She said it’s too cold and so they didn’t open on time. I went for the dark non alcoholic beer from this tent.
Not bad, good tasting without the buzz. Free beer too! Oh well, I’ll be back. I rode around a little checking out any interesting cars,
not many here. Said Hi to Dave S. he’s on a running team. Came back to the Beer Garden that was just opening.
He said Hi, back again this year? Yup, I says. Yer late, and yer getting later every year!
And what’s with the sign, “no beer beyond this point”! Yer getting too many rules. Had my Sam Adams and chatted a while and rode off.
As I’m heading back , a biker crosses in front of me on Iron Mt. trail, so I jump on his wheel,
it’s the guy I met earlier in the lot. Wow, he is good, especially on the down hills, really bombing out of sight.
I catch up and ask how’s the trails? Uh Oh, it’s Not the guy I met earlier. Oh well, I follow for a while and pass him,
and wait up ahead at a cross trail. Asked him if he knew this trail and he said yes. I explained how I thought he was someone else.
No problem. So we chatted a bit and I chased him down the crossover trail and bid him farewell. A pretty good day.
