RR: NJ Slickrock

Round Valley, Oct 30.

Damn, wish I brought the camera.

Man, what a day. The leaves have all changed, wetly falling on the
rain-slick babyhead cracked granite. It adds up to zero traction. Fog
in the multihued trees was enough to make you totally bliss out.

But with the wet leaves covering all the slimy rocks... well... I
pinch flatted once and had to up the PSI considerably. With a hardtail
and around 60mm in the front, well, it was like jackhammering your way
uphill on skiis through a mushroom rainbow fairytale. Downhill was
totally ****ing hairball. Managed to lay off the brakes and keep the
bike upright, but I've been farting in a high-pitched whistle the past
two days.

Hopefully I'll get back next week for a few pics. Don't be surprised
if there's a hobbit sighting if not some bloody gore.

That's a cool place, but kinda short in mileage, don't you think? If
you liked that, then you have to go to the northern part of Allamuchy.
You'll get 50+ miles of the same thing.

Just not descriptive enough.

Now that's funny. Three photos of trail riding, and a dozen parking lot
shots. Carla, you'll have to do better than that to convince me that the
riding at Round Valley is all that unbelievable. Or maybe not- I guess
you did a great job, now that I think about it. I guess I don't believe
that the riding at Round Valley even exists, that's how unbelieving I am.

Been there, done that. Well, part of that, anyway. Like I said, on the
hardtail with the PSI jacked, a leaky fork, and no idea where the
rocks were under the fresh wet leaves, that short mileage was plenty
for me, thanks.

/s ever try 400 meter sprints?
