Looking to get a nice 2 hour rip in before I head down to PA/NJ for the ABB/WSP show. I'm planning to start around 7am from the new secret parking area and take a spirited lap through the forbidden forest and other surrounding state owned land for a total of 8 or 9 miles. Parking area and route are negotiable so if you have any interest, post up!

Definitely interested. Could do earlier if need be.

Tempting!
If work goes well this evening, I should be there. OK to invite a couple of other early risers?

Yes, It's still on!

I'll take a look at the parking situation when I ride tonight and see if we are able to fit a few extra cars tomorrow. I'll report back later!!!

There are some spots on the "good side" of "the road you park on" a bit closer to route 69...room for a few cars at least. You'd just have to ride up the road and meet in the middle. You can also head a bit further down from "the secret location" and you'll find some room near where the blue trail pops out by the big rock! The second option is probably your best bet.

Scoped out the parking situation after my ride this evening and I'm pretty sure we can easily fit six maybe seven vehicles if we utilize the short dead end forest cut/road that heads south off East Chippens onto State Land.

Regardless, this ride is a go! I'll see all that can attend at 7:00 am sharp.
