Well, our attempt to make it to Ringwood today was a little of a let down and failure, but we tried to make the most of what was dealt to us. As the wife put it, we made Lemonade of Lemons.

Our story...
Lisa will chime in soon, but so far her B-day breakdown pans out like this:
8:30am: Breakfast
9am: Coffee shop
10am: On our way to Ringwood State Park
10:20am: Exit 287N to Ringwood Ave
10:21am: Here pop while making turn, Hmmm???
10:22am: Car won't move! @#%&#
10:23 am: Push car off road
10:25am: Pull out jack
10:30am: Find broken CV joint on 1/2 shaft just replaced in June!
10:35am: On phone with Local Subi dealer
10:40am: AAA is sending a truck
10:55am: Tow arrives
11:20: At Dealership
11:40: We leave on bikes determined to ride somewhere.
By 12:30 we went around a lot of Wayne & Pompton Lakes.
We found Pompton Cycles on Wanaque, the owner(?) greeted us before we could walk in because he was interested in my 29r. Nice guy.
He was able to give us the 411 on close by trails, so we headed out!

From 12 - 4 we spent the large part of that time logging in about 20 mls via road (10) & trail (10).

We also found & ate some Tony's Pizza. Yum!!!
4:15pm, dropped $342.00 to get car out of shop.

We'll try again soon!

What a let down

hey Jay,
Darn that's a bummer not to mention the unexpected cost to repair.
I was hoping you and the wife would hit Ringwood. I've noticed your posts over on the "other" board. I would have loved to see pics of your ride on our local trails. I'm on the fence with either yours or your wife's new ride. (trust me I'm not a stalker, just a big lurker ;)
later,
Tony
