I guess you are not planning to ride with Manny?
I'm thinking about getting there at 6:50 and just taking off with stb.
You know all too well about the "arrival creep". By 7:30 we'll still be standing around.

This sounds like a good idea and I'm sure we can work something out. AFAIK, there will only be 1 pickup truck from the county, and it will probably be filled with tools and passengers. In the past, they have allowed another vehicle to follow the county truck up the pipeline, so if you are willing to drive your truck and carry everyone's gear, I'll work with the Rangers to make it happen. It will be a good excuse to take that truck off-road.
Woohoo! I get to go 4-wheeling in Forbidden Territory! :getsome: Will it actually require 4WD, or is it basically just a dirt road?
I also plan to roll (on 2 wheels) by 7:00. If you want to put your work gear in my truck, its the silver Toyota 4Runner. I'll leave the back window open so that anybody who shows up after 7:00 can add their stuff. (I'm going to assume that nobody will steal a pile of grubby jeans & boots from the back of my truck...thieves are too lazy to be awake that early on a Saturday morning.)
See y'all Bright & Early!

What a bust on my end, I skimped out on the preride because riding to the asian sensation's in the cold on my full squish would have sucked, I headed out on the road bike at 8:15 ish and at 8:30 got a call that my car was ready, so I hauled home to go pick it up. Now I've got 1 car, 0 TM hours for the day, and like 25 minutes of riding and I'm out $250 bucks.
Maybe I'll hit up the road bike later today, what bike did you bring manny? I hope the one you intended, if so, I'm sure lots of people got a chuckle.
Edit: Apparently they used the wrong paint on my car anyway, so now it's gone again till monday....what a friggen headache

A big THANK YOU to everyone who came out today. We had 25 volunteers and everyone worked their butts off. We finished the entire trail, much to the amazement of the Park staff. The pre-ride was a blast too, well except that I cracked my carbon bar.
From mtbNJ, we had:
Montclairebobbyb
Kirt
Norm
MikeG
El zoller
brybry57
thatmanManny
woody
AnneT
vandbtriver
sixseven
one piece crank
tri.bassett
Also, warcricket & stb222 came out for the pre-ride but had to split after.
The mtbNJ folks are officially registered to win fabulous prizes in the raffle later this year.
I can't thank you all enough.

What an awesome day. We must have collectively put in over 100 hours today, no? At least 15 of us stayed to the end for a full 5 hour day.
Here is the 41 picture slideshow, including being cold in the morning, the climb as the sun rose, some rock riding, a broken handle bar and blown out tire, some pre-TM mulling about, and some TM action. The last picture may or may not have anything to do with the day, you decide:

Thanks for putting this together Jeff. Hard to believe we managed to finish the trail today. Good times.
