Dickerson Mine is another good one for a casual ride that still includes some fun techy stuff. I could guide at Lewmo or Dickerson depending on day/time.

@JimN is a good guide for Wildcat... well for a lot of the NNJ parks.

Yeah I could lead a ride pretty much wherever, but I generally only go to Wildcat these days because it's close and I'm lazy. Work is pretty busy and we are now into the climbing season, but I can generally be available at some point on the weekend for group rides. Weekdays are probably better if anyone is interested in getting out after work now that the days are longer.

I am also intimated with Wildcat

There is literally zero reason to be intimidated by Wildcat. There are some really challenging trails there, but there's also plenty of "easier" stuff. We don't have to hit the hard stuff. If you are comfortable riding at High Mountain, you will be fine on the easier trails at Wildcat. And there is no shame in walking what you can't/don't want to ride.

Evening rides at Tourne are definitely on the agenda! Tuesday or Wednesday could be a start. I can put a loop together, I usually start at the McCaffrey Lane lot.

Cycle Craft has meetups every Tuesday nights at Tourne (no drop)

Evan; I may hit you up for a WayWay tour. Haven't ridden there enough to know the park well.

Ride with me sometime there! I am trying to learn it and I have a decent grasp (as long as I have a map and I look at it intensely for a while before we start). Seriously though...I can put together a loop.

 

[Mare]

Will I break my face at Wildcat?

I can answer that for you, but it will sound something like minute 2:40 in this:

You can break your face in a bouncy house. Or you can break your face in a pool of water. Or you can break your face chasing your neighbor's dog....

@JimN is a good guide for Wildcat... well for a lot of the NNJ parks. He actually introduced me to HM. I am also intimated with Wildcat but its a park I would like to hit this season. Plus... there is no shame in hiking a bike which I am an expert at.

If you're riding high mountain, you will be able to handle wildcat no problem. I think high mountain could be the hardest park in nj, (I've never been to sourlands) wildcat probably has some harder climbs and maybe some tougher technical sections, but for me, overall, high mountain is harder.

I would be happy to take you out for a ride that will allow you to eat your words

Deal!

how does Tourne do in the Spring? mudfest or good drainage

Very good drainage.

I know a bunch of us have Summer Fridays so that's also an option. Just post up any date, time and location.

Hey pretty much any Friday (or any other day for that matter) I'm free. Just let me know when you guys want to go.

It's the out of shape that sucked me in LOL. Thanks for starting this up.

 

[Mr.Moto]

Still owe you guys a tour of NNJ trails too. Ringwood, Sterling, or Jungle if we can fit it in sometime.

 

[ebineezer]

THis ride series could be right up my alley! Trying to back back in the swing of things after a long hiatus...

 

[knobbyhead]

I might be able to join you's on fridays, when I'm not getting my butt kick by the @shrpshtr325 every other friday fun ride.

Nassau, is a fun park and not too hard.

 

[ilnadi]

I'll volunteer to lead at Nassau after the NICA season, feels like there is something going on every other day (e.g. this week: 3 practices, pre-ride Saturday, race Sunday)

Nassau, is a fun park and not too hard.

Iv only been to nassau once, but it was definitely not an abusive park by any stretch, tight and twisty, with limited climbing.

 

[Rocksrgood4u]

Great ideas... I'm up for a no drop death march- I mean tour- up the Cannonball Trail starting in Oakland...maybe sometime in July.

 

[BPaze]

I never mind difficult and challenging climbs just need frequent breaks. the lactic burn is real
