I went out to your site and I am impressed. We were talking about
doing Copper Caynon this spring but it fell apart, now it's too hot.


The fall is also a good time, but supposedly more moist.

We were in Fruita the exact sametime you were! We spent over a week
there with a day trip to Moab to ride Slick Rock for a couple of guys
who did not go with us the year before. With the exception of
Porcupine Rim, Fruita is better hands down. Did you get out to the
BookCliffs? What about Moore Fun? Nice Climb.

It was a tour, so I didn't get to do those. I'm hoping to get back
within the next two years, I have other stuff already planned for next year.


The Allamuchy ride appeared to be the Deer Park side. The North Side
of 80 where the 24 hours race sould be on your list if you are ever
back up that way. I would rate it the one of the bester rides in New
Jersey. Totally different than Deer Park. You do need to know your way
around though.

I did the Muchy 24 last year and have already signed up for this year.
We are the group with the projection video system in our campsite. The
Muchy (non race) ride I did was on the North side and I did get lost.
Luckily, we ran into the guys who make the trail for 24 and they showed
us the way out. I'm planning a Muchy 24 training ride for my team next
month. I am determined to finish in the top 12. Yeh, not a high goal
but coming from second-to-last, it's a big leap.


Where in Tamaqua are the trails? Nesquehoning is off 209 heading
toward Tamaqua and is not on State Gamelands. It is about 7 or 8 miles
out of JT, is that inthe general area?


It's in the state park, not the game lands. I think the area you are
talking about is where Deer Path I and II branch off from. Isn't that
just a fire road? I think Tamaqua SP is still another 6 or 7 miles from
there (http://tinyurl.com/73tw9). Since the town of JT is becoming
increasingly bitter towards MTBers, Tamaqua has begun to step up to the
plate. They may even host the JT MTB Weekend next year since it has
been canned from JT. There are not a lot of services around there,
though. The crappy thing is that all of this could have been prevented
if the MTBers had spent a little money in the town. Now the town has
been overrun by trendy cafes and boutique shops. Do you think the
people in those places want a bunch of dirt covered MTBers parading
around? Ok, no more rant.

Anyway, the invitation is there for Memorial Weekend. I can't tell you
exactly where we will ride, but I think you would find it to be very
*good* .
