The map of West Essex Trail
Thanks for the nice ride, twins! Even though I almost died on the way back, I enjoyed it very much!!!
Helps to forget about every day routine and free the mind!
Here is the map of W Essex Trail on Google.
See you there tomorrow
BTW, I know one paved but very nice trail in Montclair. I've created a topic here. So if you are up for this kind of training - let me know, I will be happy to go and die on that uphill with you. :getsome:
P.S.: Water on me!
P.P.S: Anyone else wanna join?

Hilltop is officially off limits to bikes like the rest of Essex County, even the west essex trail. But the caretakers are helpful to our cause. I've been thrown out of Hilltop by the police.
so you telling me you cant ride on west essex trail?

I saw some signs in Eagle Rock reservation saying that mountain biking is not allowed there. This gives me an idea that if they post these kind of signs in some places, then it is not prohibited in places where there are no such signs.
If not, we need to start a dispute by signing a petition, gathering together and stand for our rights, or something

I attended the "family ride" a month ago and spoke with two women and a tall gentleman who apparently does a lot of the trail work there. One woman was "on the board" and invited us to come back and ride the trails often to help work them in. That being said, I'm not surprised that this has not been made official with the County and that they threw you out of there.
Ricketki - there is basically a blanket prohibition against riding on Essex County trails. There are only a few gravel roads and paved paths that are considered ok. The Lenape Trail, for example, is posted "no bikes" at certain trail heads and on the County website.

Very true! Frustrating, but true.
