9/19/22 Trail Maintenance Thank Youze.
Big thanks to John D, JohnE, Jim C (everyone in sNJ knows Jim, aka: Chuck Norris), Rick C, and Kurt for another long day of work in the forest!

Over the past two 8/16 and 9/19 maintenance days. The PBT has been brushed back from the NE corner down to the southern QBR crossing. Rick C is eager to start brushing back the northern leg of the PBT on 9/27/22. Will post details soon.

@slingblade_uhhuh , would really appreciate a trail update. When do you think trails will be rideable? From the wildfires and /or the rain?

This weekend should be great. With the caveat that the wind was blowing hard for several days. You might encounter some limb litter and the occasional blowdown on the MTB trails.

Bonus is that if you're looking for milage and to do some exploring, all that rain will make even the sand roads fun to ride. Just don't try riding through those sand road *puddles*. Most of them are deep enough to swallow a truck.

That’s for the update, and thanks for all the trail work!

Be aware. Initial reports are that the recent high winds have blown down more trees and limb litter.
If you come across something that you can safely drag off the trail, please do.
