Ringwood State Park Conditions

[serviceguy]

Let’s pick up where we left last year, there’s some rocks to move…

 

[serviceguy]

Help this guy figure out where to drop that big rock, or he will end up dropping it on his own foot, as usual. Come out and help reroute the Ringwood-Ramapo trail…

**Rattlesnake Alert**-There is a rattlesnake(s) living in the log over/pile on Pierson Ridge (blue) near the intersection with Crossover (white). I went over the log this AM and heard something move so I stopped five feet past the log. Sure enough, I heard the rattle and the critter sounded pissed. Yikes!! Be very careful if you ride or walk that obstacle.

Uh! You mean there? I got a wasp sting near there last year which made me cut the ride short due to the pain, a rattlesnake bike would probably really ruin my day...

Yup, that is the exact spot. Be careful.

 

[a.s.]

Tree down about 100 yards into Race Trail just when you enter past the boat house. It’s a 24” stump- could probably use a small chainsaw.

What diameter? I can probably take care of it with my bigboy.

there was one down on catsnest / renegade last week. probably needs a chainsaw too. location is on the longer downhill close to the jumps before the gnarly rock garden.

See original post. Feel free to go at it. Thanks for the work!

Ah, 24’’ diameter is no job for a small chainsaw. I thought you meant…I don’t know.

 

[serviceguy]

Catnest/Renegade is clear, someone took care of the smaller trees, Bailey finished it off. Enjoy.

There are 2 trees down on the race loop trail.

There’s 1 on Warm Puppy.

There’s 1 more down on Ringwood Ramapo Knob almost to Warm Puppy.

A good amount of hero dirt after yesterday’s rain. Rocks and roots were a bit sweaty but fat sticks to most things.

It is a big help if you lean your bike up against log and take picture to post. This way we know what type of saw is needed. Thanks.

Let's say all 4 were 12"-24". I was able to hop them all save for the first one on the race loop, which is about 2 minutes up from the gravel road. It's not big IIRC, just in a lousy spot.

I think. I'm getting old so my memory stinks.

I believe it’s the same reported by @chainring and @Norm …hopefully it will be taken care of tomorrow.

Woodchuck on a fat bike?

Yes, a questionable character was seen leaving the general area this afternoon. Taking care of Warm Puppy tomorrow morning, unless a bear works on it overnight.
