    Wild Cat Wednesday!

    FYI - The coyotes were going crazy last night near the Beach Glen Trail (blue), behind my house. Just after dusk and it sounded like a big pack. I ran into 5 or 6 last week hiking. There has been a lot of wildlife activity in the area below New Way down, I'm guessing since there is a water...

    26" Disc Wheel set wanted

    Does anyone have a 26" disc brake wheelset laying around they want to part with (cheap)? I can get a set on Amazon for $170. It's for a college get-around campus bike.

    Don't deny it, the KOM...can it help you better yourself as a rider?

    For road KOMs up here. There's really no point in trying (well, for a 55-year-old that doesn't train). Most of them are in the hands of 3 people. They are either former UCI pro's (now in their late 30's) or multi-time NJ State champs. I may have gotten one but within days, they come back and...

    Don't deny it, the KOM...can it help you better yourself as a rider?

    This is why I love Strava. My man averaged 2.1 mph on segment we do at 5 mph then completely blew up the road. LOL! I should probably flag this.

    Why is orange dot closed? Your input to MCPC may help it open.

    That's my adopt-a-trail. I only noticed 2 B-lines on that trail, one rock roller on the right and an alternate line over a small rock formation. I'm pretty bad at spotting alternate lines though, especially at the Tourne. 30 years of riding the same stuff have me fairly programmed. I'll go...

    Wildcat Ridge WMA Conditions

    Update on the bridge on Meriden Road. It's completely gone. They have a sketchy scaffold over the stream that looks walkable. It looks like it will be a while. They have excavated pretty far back to install some new piers, along with a large pipe to bypass the area while they are working. I...

    Ringwood H2H

    Why are there different classes in every H2H race? For example: there's no CAT1/2/3 15-18 for this race but Aistriu Mayhem had one?

    Biggest loser

    Having had some nerve issues in a bad place since last season, I took quite a break from the pedals. I still put some time in at the home gym and yoga studio but man did I get the mid 50s spare tire. 4 weeks ago I picked up a 5 juice cleanse/fast what have you. 6-12 oz bottles a day, about...

    Wildcat Ridge WMA Conditions

    Going to have to climb New Way down or take the jeep trail off of beach glen straight up. Also affects my commute to work.

    Potential DWG Proposal: Needs Attention.

    There's no way. Acadia had 4 Million last year. If anyone has ever been there, you know what that looks like. I can't see the benefit of this.

    Mills Reservation MTB death lawsuit

    It is a pretty small amount for accidental death. Hell, our neighbor's kid fell off a zip line in our yard and broke his arm, and sued us (total scumbag move). After a few years, the insurance finally settled for well over what this case was settled for. And I had to carry insurance through...

    anyone ever ride this course?...medford nj aistriu mayhem mtb race.

    I don't think I've ever raced more 32/18 and that had me a couple of top 10s in SSaP. I look at what my target avg speed is and gear accordingly. So 2:1 on a 29er at an avg cadence of 90 will get you 15.5 mph. I just don't see CAT3 riders getting to those speeds. For a first-time racer, I...

    Notes from a Millennial

    I had to look up exactly who the Millenials are. I was quite disturbed to find out I'm almost a Baby-Boomer, like WTF? @Patrick must be right on the cusp of Gen-X.

    Car-spotting thread

    That's right by Magnify Brewery. I was looking at a used GT4 last weekend. It was a 2020 with 5400 miles but something was fishy: the tow hook cover was missing on the front bumper. The guy at the dealer didn't even know what it was. That Kia dealer on Rt 23 has a bunch of high-end used...
