Nice. Shore bunnies, eh? Send a link, I'd like a look at the route.
I'm scheduled for Sicklerville this weekend, sorta in your neck of the
woods I think.
/s
Yup. Sicklerville is about 15 minutes south of me. Very flat.
Here's the MS150 page:
http://www.nationalmssociety.org/pae/event/event_detail.asp?e=6654
There is a route link on the page.
Anywhere at all to ride offroad in Sicklerville? Even if it is flat?
Or in the surrounding area? What's the gnarliest thing in the
vicinity, other than the BMX track in Vineland?
Thanks.
/s
LOL! Well, you'll just have to try and make it difficult. It's the
pinies and it doesn't get more flat. Just off the top of my head...
Parvin State Park in Vineland has a lot of trails and an old quarry you
can fiddle around in. One trail has 20+ bridges on it. There's also a
lake you can cool off in after. This will be the closest to you.
Mantua Park (Cere's Park) in Mantua/Pitman is short with some obstacles.
Gloucester Community College has a six mile loop with surprisingly short
steep hills, water bars, and a few ladders and bridges.
Estelle Manor Park has a six mile loop through a historic WWI
ammunitions factory area.
If you go over the Delaware Memorial Bridge, which is pretty close by
then you have a lot more interesting terrain. In Delaware you have
White Clay/Middle Run, Iron Hill, and Brandywine State Park. A little
south of there just over the border (it's not as far as it sounds) into
MD is Fair Hills.
Saturday at 9:00 there is a small group from JAR riding at Mantua. If
you are there on Sunday, JAR (www.jerseyactionriders.org) has there
Sunday ride at Middle Run. You can check the ride page for more info.
This way you'd have some people to ride with (you can get lost there).
Just tell them Mitch sent ya.
