Should we only ride when it's frozen now (until the spring)?

There are a lot of Wawas up north now, but not so many Quick Cheks down south. Also, there is a central Jersey. Maybe one criteria is the word "sub". Being from the north I asked for a "hero" last time I ate at a pizza place just south of exit 7 and they didn't know what I was talking about...

Eating every bit of the lobster including the tomalley (green shit) is the only way to do it. I cringe every time I see people just eating the claws and tail. I want to take the rest of the lobster from them and eat it myself (after I scold them). I'm not a big fan of the eggs but I eat about...

Before you go you might want to get a copy of the book "A Walk in the Park" by Tom St. Germain. It's listing of basically every hike on the island with info, trail details, maps, etc. I think the author lives/lived in the area and tried to do every trail on the island. It's probably out of...

Has anyone mentioned paddling? Acadia and MDI are great places for paddling. We bring our rec/touring boats up and paddle Seal Cove Pond, Long Pond, Echo Lake, Little Long Pond, and sometimes other lakes and ponds. Northeast creek is a tidal creek that's pretty. For the more ambitious...

You can also share your location with others, even using the online map, like for a road ride or sharing off trail locations.

Why is the bear hunt so early this year?

How are the conditions? Based on recent weather I would imagine we'd be good for a ride tomorrow.

I recommend Linux Mint for beginners. Looks almost exactly like Windows, does a lot of under the hood things through the user interface, does a lot of automatic recognition of hardware, etc., has auto update, the UI is intuitive and makes a lot of sense. It's not as convoluted as some other...

I always have problems with online clothes. Almost never the right size and I have to send it back. I prefer to buy in person. Except for Fiveten shoes, which are sized consistently and I feel comfortable buying online. I don't really see one of my categories in the poll. In person at a...

It's slowly changing and parts of it are improving but the city government is too corrupt. I don't think it will undergo a renaissance like Newark. BTW there are nice parts of Paterson, like the Hillcrest section. Also, I'm in Paterson almost every day and never have problems. I go shopping...

Not all the way to SI during rush hour but at other times and on the Jersey side during rush hour. The southbound Turnpike isn't too bad during rush hour and the Goethals is hit and miss. The SI Expressway is bad a lot but sometimes not. Route 3 going to the turnpike is always bad in the...

Where were you riding? Did you spray yourself before you went out?

Independents can vote today too. They can vote for any (one) party's primary candidates. As soon as they do, however, they will become registered in that party. They can then choose to stay in that party or file a party declaration form to become Independent again (or change to another party).

We're in Passaic county and I think that's a great centrally located area with lots of amenities. Not the upper part of the county like West Milford but lower, like Totowa, Woodland Park, Wayne, Haledon, Hawthorne. Lots of train stations nearby and buses, a little crowded but still has a...
