Back to biking. First Time forum(er)

[Scotty_D]

My Names Scott, I'm 26, I mountain biked alot as a child and am getting back into it (back on the bike maybe 2 months now). I ran into @pooriggy at chimney rock yesterday and he told me about the community. I mostly ride by myself but I figured I'd get on here to give group rides a shot and contribute to some trail maitenance. I'm in the Princeton area so six mile would be my closest trail, but I am trying to get out there and explore everything Jersey has to offer.

Helll Yeah, I'm trying to get out to Ringwood for the festival. I'm hunting for a new bike and want to take the opportunity to demo some bikes with a modern geometry.

I'm in for sure. I've ridden hartshorne, but it had to be almost 10 years ago now, I'd love to get the rundown from someone who knows the route

You mean bikewise? I'm on a 2005 foes fxr. I actually still like the way it rides, but that may be because I haven't ridden anything else in years. Looking for something playful and hesitant to go 29er for that reason.
