It is my understanding the all fast riders are supposed to wear deer costumes while in the woods ….. thankfully I am really slow

I could be wrong, but my understanding is that Archery starts now and 6 day Firearms is December.

You may be right. My neighbor hunts, he told me it was gun. So he may have been off on his zone.

Good morning,

I was going to take a hike tomorrow at Ringwood and I was wondering what the recommended bike loop is for an experienced but new to the park rider? Unfortunately I cannot ride for another month or so…. But my goal is to get a small taste of the place

Here is what I was looking at.

Thoughts or comments?

At where is it recommended that I park?

Thanks!

With the loop above, you could park at Shepherds Lake Lot or at Lot A by Skylands Manor.

Hiked up Warm Puppy yesterday with my warm puppy (😊) and my son. Conditions were spectacular. We cleaned up the main line coming off the top of the rock slab. It now leads you directly to a small hip jump off a perfectly angled rock on the trial. The old tech line is to the right of the tree and of course there's the easier main trail that stays below the slab.

Good to know, i always go in between the two trees

Great conditions today. Many hikers, riders and dogs enjoying the new trail.

Big tree down across the red trail, heading towards Ramapo. It’s at the top of the switchbacks after the creek crossing ~2 miles from Ryersons.

Cleaned up the Ringwood/Ramapo (red) trail starting from High Mountain Brook to the top of the switchbacks. It’s now more visible but lots of leaves are still down so ride carefully.

Cleared a tree that was down halfway up the trail. The big tree at the top was too much to tackle with my Silky. That one needs a chainsaw @pixychick.

Question…. Does anyone why these logs are placed at the entrance of the jump/drop line on Skylands? This photo was at the trail entrance to the rock roll just below the jump line….

@Patrick , I think https://www.mtbnj.com/forum/threads/trail-maintenance-dont-do-this.51731/ needs an update and being brought back to the top as it's that time of the year...

Wasn’t me. And to be clear, when I leaf blow a trail it's only the top layer so as to make the trail somewhat visible. I don't try to remove all the leaf cover.

Two trees down on Pierson's Ridge, closer to the north side. One is really big, like I don't think I could wrap my arms around it's trunk.

Where on the map? Not sure if it can be dealt with if it's on a fire road, I guess in that case it would be covered by the SlashWood Permit...

I can't believe how good Ringwood was today. A tiny bit of ice, and a few spots with freeze/thaw grease, but outstanding overall. The fireroads looked pretty bad, but who cares.
