Done this ride many times. Some of the best trails in NJ along this ride. Bring plenty of water, food, tools, spare RD hanger, tubes, etc. You don't wanna have a problem way out in the middle of this ride it's a long way back to skyline and a long way to parking lot in ringwood. Also, save some energy for the ride back. It's easy to push yourself too hard heading out there and you don't even know it until you're trying to climb back up cannonball. I've only bonked in extreme heat when I only had 1 bottle of water.
