Hi guys,
first post on the forums. I am from ireland and will be in NY for a bachelor party/stag party for a few days around the end of april/may time. I'd love to come over a week early and get some hardcore action before hand. Most interested in diablo freeride park so headed over to the park info page. I don't fully understand if the park only opens at weekends or if you can still go but the uplifts/chairlifts/gondolas are only open at weekends?
Anyways i'd like to do diablo even if it is only open for the weekend and head over to another area on the weekdays. If it is closed mid-week where would you recommend for some freeride/dh/cross-stuntry to someone who doesn't know the city. I'd be interested in renting a bike and/or staying close by.
Here's some of the places i'm looking at but i'd like to visit marked routes and would love to go to some ski park areas like diablo.
Garnet Hill Mountain Bike Center
CapitalMTB
NYCMTB - in particular ninham
Cunningham Park Trails
Blue Mountain Reservation
Sprain Ridge Park
Also looking at MTBNJ but it is in the process of being updated
Oh, and looking at plattekill also possibly camping? So cheers guys, what have you got?
EDIT: I should say I'm prepared to travel out into the surrounding area if it means a good few days quality riding, cheers folks.
