Dirty Thursdays
- Thread starter JR Zano
- Start date
Yes, we are getting close to officially opening this section, thanks to the 42 volunteers that have come out to help. We have currently logged 325 hours of work into this trail. Weather permitting, we plan to work every Thursday 4:00 to 7:30 and Saturday June 1, National Trail Day. Maybe one other weekend day added in as well. Please come out and help, so that we can try to get this open on National Trail Day!
A big thanks to the 10 volunteers that came out yesterday to build trail and fight the annoying bugs :getsome:. Only one turn and benching a connector left to do, and this trail should be ready for an official opening. We have 3 work days left to get this open for National Trail Day. Let's do it!
Work days the next few weeks:
Thursdays: May 23 and May 30 at 4:00 or whenever you can get there.
Saturday June 1 at 9:00 am.
Below some pictures of the last few turns we built:
1. panoramic of a turn that crosses several humps
2. rock work in that turn
3. the turn above

Looks like you guys got a lot of wok done, taking 3 days off from work last week is killing me. I am going to be playing catch up for the next few weeks. That being said I am going to try to make it on Thursday. I only missed being there because I was out of the country....

Looks like it is going to be hot and dry for Dirty thursday this week. We need some extra volunteers this week to make up for our missed day last week. Please don't forget we are working Saturday too, and hopefully opening and riding this new section by midday on Saturday. Hope to see you all there.

Still a little work to be done from the transition of Poison Ivy to the new section, also a few reroutes on the lower White trail and Poison ivy trails just to avoid wet spots. See you all on Thursday.
Here is the Strava segments of the new section,

Where exactly does the new white trail begin? I was looking for it last weekend and ended up on some sort of white/silver blazed fireroad. It eventually went into the woods on my right. We followed it up a hill (was unridable) and hit a Blue blazed trail that eventually hit the pipeline all the way on top. Was I on Pierson ridge trail?
Where is the new white trail in relation to all this? Thx

Yes it sounds like you were on Pierson. We will not get to that section until next year.
Technically, the crossover (white trail) runs from Sloatsburg Rd (by RW Manor) all the way to Bear Swamp. Much of it is hike a bike or eroded fire road, so we (JORBA) with cooperation of the hiker group and State Park, are building sustainable re-routes.
The section just completed, runs from the race course loop below Webly Pond down towards where it crosses Whites Rd. It will not be blazed until all 5 sections are complete. If you hop onto the race course by Webly, you should find it.

If you know where the race course is in that area right after Poison Ivy, it continues down and just above a stone retaining wall. The new trail connects to the right as you are headed down there.
Here is some raw (and somewhat shaky) footage of most of the trail.

Had the pleasure of riding this trail in both directions today. I think it climbs really well with the switchbacks. Overall, its great in both directions, just needs some traffic to pack down the dirt.

Had the opportunity to ride this on Saturday. Wow, if your looking for flow, this is one of the sweetest sections of downhill singletrack you will find. If your looking to climb on singletrack, this is also a treat! Thanks so much for your efforts. Hope to get out to do some work with you.
