By all means, not that I need to encourage you, but speak your mind for sure. I'm not going to use my green name to do anything like shout someone down. If I'm being a dick, feel free to say as much. I asked a few people who agreed I had a point, but that my second reply was a bit harsh, and thus I apologize for that. I was really just answering his one-liner with a one-liner.
You're right, I should have just replied with a reminder like you say. To answer your question, I would consider reviews of all those trails kinda meaningless, though if you make it clear they're off-limits, then cool. No harm no foul.
Pixy brings up a good point about the climbing here. The fact this is an early race makes me want to scratch this race for the reasons she says. I'm gravity-bound as it is, that place emphasizes it.
The Delaware course you refer to is Granogue.
I consider this thread Spring Training for the discussions when the race season starts. Can we start calling people sandbaggers yet?

Hmmm, tapering before big events ? Shall I assume you've tapered for the CCWC this weekend ? I know I rode much too hard this weekend in Allamuchy.

BTW, I'm glad this all came up because I was thinking of going up there to preride the course in a few weeks, so I do find it to be a relevant report. So FallGirl keep them coming, I enjoy reading them since I don't get to ride much in lower upstate new york!
Buy the day pass
No, they do not know if you are or are not a local except for the license plate. If you park at the deli and bike in,...they don't ask,...heck,... there weren't anyone on the trails anyhow.
I didn't know the race loop, so I went to the town office above the park. For 5 dollars I got a day pass and a park map. Unfortunately, their are very few trail stewarts and there were a lot of blow downs and trail deterioration. I gave my map back to the office lady with marks on the map of problem areas. She then gave me my 5 dollars back and said I saved them a lot of time.
As Ellen said, it's a difficult challenge to bike there not to mention so far away. Therefore, I only bike it on race day. Ringwood is way more fun anyhow.

although its signs are posted unionvale res. only. the park is open to all humans from "... to nonresidents after labor day until memorial day". during the summer they have people that work there. they check I.D.,s for people heading to the center park/ swimming pool area. BTW this local was with his girlfriend who happens to have NJ plates.

I think a jersey plate might give it away.
True enough, but a guy from Buffalo, NY is less of a local than us. i guess it's like Fair Hills, MD. where out of staters pay 5 or 6 bucks and the MD. residents pay 4. That sound right Jess?
Too much thinking, need beer!

To the postings by Cyclocrossfool, thanks ... honey
Wow, I never thought that posting a few lines about our ride at Tymor Park would cause such a battle of words! Honestly when I drive my Jersey plated car into the parking lot at Tymor I really never bother reading the signs, I'm more concerned on what color lipstick would be proper for the upcoming ride!
Tommy found on a website that all are allowed to ride there except during the summer. NJJess noted that one can purchase a single day pass to ride as well, ^5 Jessica.

Oh I intend to keep the coming Glancing Aft, in one way I feel I am fortunate to spend my weekends in NY State. This weekend coming I want to ride at 909 in Pleasant Valley and possibly at a new place called ... Jockey Hill, in Kingston. I hear that place has over 1,000 acres of trails. Now Tommy and I are going to watch the DVD of 2008 Cyclocross World Championships from Italy ... trust me, ya don't wanna know where we got the tape from
Happy trails,
Christina ...
ps. After work ride at WV/CR tomorrow 5pm ish

Wait until race season rolls around. Brings a lot of people out of the woodwork. Don't sweat it either way, as they say it's all good.
