Rumble in the Jungle updates

With only two weekends between now and the Rumble in the Jungle race on September 19, we know some of you might be headed to our local playground (a.k.a. Jungle Habitat!) looking to get in a few practice laps. A few warnings for you as you head to the park...
  1. On Saturday, September 4, the West Milford PAL will be holding fireworks at Jungle Habitat. The gates open for the event at 4:30 p.m., and of course there will be activity beforehand in the parking lots. Traffic may be heavy, and parking sketchy, especially later in the day, so plan your visit accordingly.
  2. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, September 10-12, there will be an air show taking place next door to Jungle Habitat at the Greenwood Lake Airport. Last year, there were thousands of people at the show on Saturday. The gates to Jungle Habitat will be open, and visitors to the air show will be parking there. At peak hours, there will be traffic delays both entering and leaving Airport Road. There may be more people than usual wandering the trails as well, so please be mindful of the additional pedestrian traffic. The park will be open to all - just be aware the crowds will be there as well!
  3. Many of you are looking for a course map. Well, we have good news and bad news. The good news is that we will run the course with the GPS tomorrow, and hope to have a file up for you over the weekend. The bad news is that the only other map we have to share with you until then is the one we colored with the kids' crayons ... in other words, it's bad, and yes, we know it. However, it'll give you the basic idea, so here it is. The connectors you use to jump from one trail to another may not obvious on the map or as you ride - our apologies. We appreciate your patience! Keep checking back in for GPS files, pre-rides, and course marking updates!
As always, we'll post updates as we get closer - any questions, drop us a line at info@teamtowncycle.com .
