Around 11:00 I found myself bored, so I figured time to go for a ride.
I didn't feel like going very far, so I decided to head around the
corner to Mount Laurel State Park. This is the latest adopted trail
system by NJMBA-DRC and although they have not worked on it yet, it gets
a lot of use by joggers. It may only be 40 acres with a trail thats 2
miles long, but those two miles are either up or down with lots of
technical challenges thrown in. Six miles here (three laps) is a
workout. The logovers are huge and frequent and there's even a couple
of rocks, which is very unusual for this area. This will be my
alternate workout during the week once the days get longer. One night
road, the next dirt.
Trailhead right to a climb:

The park is named for the Laurel Oaks that grow only on this hill. Very
strange.

Logs, logs, and more logs.

You either go up the hill or down it. It's steep and short.

Perhaps the only rocks in South Jersey and on a very steep downhill. Fun!

Doing the DH. I finally figured out how to time myself just right with
the self timer.
