  1. Any trail condition - reports for the Wissahickon or Belmont since the
    latest snow?

    JAR (www.jerseyactionriders.org/rides.htm) club ride for this Sunday is
    at Pennypack, which sucks up water much better than Wiss. Please avoid
    Wiss for a while as it is saturated beyond belief. The continued freeze
    / thaw is causing the trails to become sponges. Additionally, the FOW
    will be working on a bridge project there this weekend. The last thing
    we need is to have them see MTBers tearing up a muddy trail.

    Your best bet is to stick with sandier trails such as Brendan Byrne
    State Forest (jersey pines), Pennypack, or rail trails.

  3. Thanks. My usual sources for trail condition info haven't been out recently
    either. Many in the group I ride with and I have helped with TM at the
    Wiss. We are quite sensitive to the conditions that make it ecologically
    incorrect to ride.
