Sourland Mountain Preserve Saturday 0900 11/30/2019

Come ride the Sourlands the way i think it flows best.

9am Saturday!

Can't promise that i can find the lines through chunky monkey, but we'll try.

It is the sourlands, so no beginners -
There is quite a bit of climbing, and tech, and i'd rather keep moving to stay warm. While i'm not fast,
and don't mind stopping at the top of the tougher climbs and intersections, would like to keep moving,
so quick recovery.

figure two hours.

Derp. It was in the title. Sorry. Too much turkey. Will be there!

I'm in. No worries if you need to drop me, I know the place pretty well.

 

[jklett]

Plus I might want to play on the rocks a little bit.

Ugh, I missed this post! I didn't feel great this morning, but am thinking about heading down this afternoon. How was it? Any videos/pictures? @Patrick @Robin

Perfect conditions

It was a great ride. Thanks @Patrick for organizing and leading. I always enjoy your rides.

Thanks @jimvreeland @jklett and @qclabrat for the encouragement and laughs.

I did get video of Him but not sure how to post.

Great ride today - fun times watching Jim hop around.

Mission accomplished ! we tried alternate lines - kept moving when we could. Crashed and walked a bit.

I got home and realized i was soaked! Didn't notice how much it warmed up.

@Robin - vid must be posted to youtube or vimeo then embedded here - or post a link to something like dropbox or google drive.

Thanks again for the ride, I cleaned more than last time so I consider that a win! It's always good to see how other people go at things, it opens up lines that I didn't see before.

You can email it to me. Jim29er@gmail.com

Glad you guys had fun. I realized i had leaves to deal with at home instead of ride so spent 4 hours doing that instead (town curbside cutoff is fast approaching).

Bummed I missed the group ride this morning, but I did still get out for a Sourlands ride of my own later this afternoon. Got to the parking lot around 2:40 and put in a solid hour of tech riding.

I decided to climb up the crossover trail from marker 2 to marker 4 to get to the good stuff quick. That climb is hard, but gets you good and warmed up to rock fast! I then did all of the red trail in both directions, out to goat ridge and down white. Felt great!
