Well, those of you in North Jersey who remember the 20+ mile roundtrip abandoned RR Tracks as a beautiful, scenic, singletrack run, open from NJ to PA for the general public, and kept clean and cleared by most of those who used it, has officially been closed by the state police :(
Apparently a very stupid person came flying out of the trail, onto the street without looking both ways, and got hit by a car.
The sad thing is, the incident had nothing to do with the tracks themselves, nor the trails, but the state police (who are now patrolling all points within the trail vigilantly and apparently arresting anyone riding back there) decided that it was no longer suitable for mature adults, families, and other responsible riders as well as the irresponsible.
I have been looking forward all winter and summer to riding out there this fall for the awesome foliage over the delaware valley, and nice, peaceful relaxing, safe, and fun ride.
It only takes one idiot to ruin it for everyone.

I'm f&%$ing pissed.
