I went out Saturday morning about 7:30. The ground was frozen solid with about an inch of snow so conditions were excellent. I went out on my fatbike, but two of my buddies were on "skinny" tire bikes and had a blast.
I hear ya. I think the two main keys to staying on the bike in the winter is having the right gear/clothing for the variety of conditions we see here and being willing to travel to different parks based on the conditions as well.Fair enough, winter riding is always a pain with the constant weather changes.. going from 18 to 45 in 3 days with moisture is going to make any riding surface a mess. Reminds me why I use to focus more on ice hockey in the winter months lol.

I see that you are in Laurence Harbor so you're close to Hartshorne/Huber which drains pretty well (like Allaire) so there are a decent number of riding days there during the winter months regardless of the temp changes. Places like Six Mile tends to hold water so it's really a matter of getting out there when the ground is frozen, whether it's multiple days below freezing, or getting out early in the morning before the thaw (which is an option I take advantage of often).
I'm also in Central Jersey, like you, so I think we have the advantage of being within an hour to an hour and half of most parks in the state so there is a lot to choose from that way. (plus I'm getting too old to play contact sports like hockey)
you are joking arent you?60 degrees this Saturday!! Who's riding????
It's almost Spring dudes, I've been riding road this winter and I can't wait to be back on trails!
Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads.
Thankfully somebody got it!Back the the future bro...!
