Took a trip over to the Seat Sniffers neck of the woods over the weekend. With the help of http://www.mtbnj.com(thanks Sniff), I found this little gem around 10 minutes from the house. Super fun on a single speed, very fast and sticky.

I'd compare it to daley in the sense that there's a fire road climb going in, then at the top and coming down there's a bunch of single track and bridges, table tops, etc. a while back there were some issues with "hikers" dismantling and sabotaging bridges or other features that were built by loosening planks or dropping some nails. happy i could help and im glad you find something out there you enjoyed. mtbnj.com was a great resource back in the day and it sounds like it still is. last i checked the people who used it were nice to each other online AND on the trail, what a novel idea! :D
