Allamuchy North Conditions

@Teutonic
I'll plan to go back through with some paint to refresh the markers in the near future

That would be awesome. As someone that rides it a few times a year for many years, certain spots can still be confusing with the alt (read easy) lines that have popped up.

yeah, Its hard to follow in places, especially the bottom half. I'm going to add a few but keep it the OG lines, just a few more for visibility while riding.

Bill and I hand cut and moved about 8-10 trees in the middle of the park this morning (BSA, unblazed, Ice Cream) and logged about another 10 or so in TF for the chainsaw. Little by little this whole park will be cleared.

Yeah, I rode it today and the last 1/4 to 1/3 of the trail is hard to follow.

Cleared all of Ice cream today by chainsaw.....all rideable now. Could use some markings though for sure.

I know the map is getting rough, but this is the latest on what is known to be clear. Both green AND yellow.

I went in to Allamuchy again this afternoon and cleared about 6 or so trees from the Sussex Branch lot.--Wow that was tough (I think some were hiking trails) I've now swept most of the remaining trails on that side except the two small red hi-lited ones. @Sawyer1 I believe is going to try and clear the remaining purple hi-lited ones next week. He cleared the remainder of Friggin Middle, Ice Cream, etc earlier in the week or last week. After the purple ones are swept/cut , I'd consider Allamuchy North clear!

29x3 mode now for the TM bike:

How does the rack attach to the bike? Are the 29ers working out better for pedal clearance?

Eh, maybe a smidge. 155mm cranks would probably be best. Old Man Divide Fat rack w/Robert Axle Project axle w/standoffs.

The pedal clearance is more of an issue with snow clearance and when doing TM with the saw and not riding as nimbly/active.

In both 26x4.8 and 29x3 it's not as much of an issue on dry rides without the chainsaw.
