I have been doing Tri's for several years. The NJ State Tri is a must do and I see you have it on your list already. If you are looking for something in May, you may want to check out Xterra off road Tri's. http://www.xterraplanet.com/races They have one called King of Hill in Round Valley...

I don't know anything about it, but what a great idea. Especially in this area, Good luck!!

KTM I felt ready to get back on after right around 3 weeks too. This was after thinking I only had bruised ribs (according to H'town Hosp) I decided, with much pressure from the old lady...ok she decided!:) to follow up with my Ortho and he found the fractured ribs. He said they weren't...

DAMN!! I feel lucky. Bubble wrap crossed my mind too:D Maybe we'll have a mellow winter and you can get out then

WOW...This sounds like fun!! Can I make a suggestion to advertise this more, perhaps put some of those small signs around the area? I live in Independence, have been biking here for several years and have never heard of it.

Which trail is Rogue?? And can someone tell me if there is any way to get notified via email when someone replies to a post...can't seem to figure that out

Thanks for the info!

A few weeks back I took a spill at Deer Park and fractured 2 ribs, I'm out for 4 more weeks. Does anyone out there use anything for rib protection? I was recommended G Form compression shirt and it looks pretty good, nice and light and not restrictive. Anyone use this or have any...

Me three...Also saw a very large one last Friday night on the trail back to the parking lot (not white, the other winding one). He was right in my way, I had to wait for him to leave and he was in no hurry! Here is a not so good pic [ATTACH]17579[/ATTACH

Wow likeloud! Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water. That's some scary Sh**t. I had another encounter Friday night at Deer Park. I just stopped, talked out loud, and it slowly walked away. I love to see them too...just not too close

Funny!!! I think I'll leave the pepper spray and bells behind and take my chances

I see them all the times in my yard and I know they could care less about me no matter how much noise I make. This was my first run in with the cubs on my bike so I wasn't sure. Sounds like I have nothing to worry about...unless I have the snickers bar. Funny Sh**t They are amazing animals...

I'm not too worried about them when they're solo...but this was the first time the kids were around so I had no idea what to expect. I was thinking it might appear as if "I" was charging towards "her". After reading the posts and the fact that she seemed to walk away when I was turning around...

It was inevitable..I've seen them more than once at a distance while riding at Deer Park, but tonight mama and baby stepped right out into the trail while I was moving at a pretty good clip. Needless to say I slammed on the brakes which cause her to stand up and look right at me. Probably about...

Conditions = GREAT! That bit of rain knocked down the dust... was awesome out there this morning. May have to bring some pruners with me next ride though.
