hey!

so i am ITCHING to ride dirt again... anything really, so long as it is technical enough that i can't ride it on my roadbike.

with rain predicted AGAIN right before this weekend i am doubting anything in philly will be rideable.  :'(

BUT, i hear there are areas in NJ that are pretty sandy and therefore drain pretty well....

anyone want to be a tourguide in such a location saturday???

i am willing to provide post ride beers to whomever can show me a good time in the dirt for a few hours!  ;D

let go, i am even willing to face the jerseydevil... BRING IT YOU LITTTLE UGLY DEVILBOY!!!!

Drains better than Wiss, will be dry by the weekend, it's as close to Wiss as it can get but nicer in some ways. technical hilly singletrack, where most of Wiss is doubletrack.

I'm going there!

how far would it be for me?

google maps says 85 miles or 1:45 hrs

Allaire, Round Valley or Lewis Morris might be a good option.

DOH!!!

that is far.

i might have to make a plgimige out to micheaux this weekend instead. (same drive better ride)

sorry to start the thread then bail on it but i was thinking maybe 1 hour or less of driving was all that was required.

i'll talk to you wednesday???

With this weather, just about everything will be drying out nicelly, so we'd have plenty of options. PA, NJ, DE, etc.

FC? FH? Another long one stringing together few places liek we did on the snow ride?

yeah but i heard an inch plus of rain thursday into friday...

AND i just heard i might have a tourguide for micheaux saturday.

now i need to make sure i have a fork for my SS by then.

we WILL hook up the long philthy and fairhill rides soon! but i think for this weekend i am out.

got to go be selfish and ride micheaux... i need to ride there more if i am gonna hit up the 50 mile races there this summer.

How far is the micheaux from Philly?

2/2.5 hours.... not close, but GOOOD!

of course your more than welcome to tag along. it will be a long day that starts mighty early!
