People are always making the trails to easy. Wasps are great training tool, the fear of getting stung in the face will make you pick up the pace.

It’s been reported to the Trail Conference. They’re sending a sawyer out this week in my absence. @MuniMan is also aware.

Correct!

​ NEW E-BIKE POLICY AT STERLING FOREST STATE PARK​ ​ ​

​ Big news from Sterling Forest! The “No Electric Bicycle” signs have officially been removed, and NY State Parks has updated its policy to allow Class-1 e-bikes on multi-use trails. What this means: Class-1 e-bikes (see below) are now welcome anywhere that standard mountain bikes are permitted. What hasn’t changed: Hiking-only trails remain closed to all bicycles—electric or acoustic. A huge thanks to PIPC and NY State Parks for refining their policies to make these incredible trails more accessible to everyone. If you love riding at Sterling, please consider making a donation to help us continue funding new trail builds and improvements throughout the park system. Every contribution goes directly back into creating more world-class singletrack for all riders. ​

A great job of Advocacy and Education up there.
Really proud of all that were engaged in this effort.

I have upgraded you to MTBNJ Premium for two years.
:get some:

I'd like to mention that i've unilaterally made this decision - so no doubt it will come out of my stipend.
