Hey For anyone that lives/visits/does thing around and about NYC, I've set up a gravity riders page. Should hopefully facilitate some group rides and let people tag onto lifts, races, etc. https://www.facebook.com/groups/884366264952061/ Feel free to join.

I have four days of vacation over the 4 July weekend and want to do a biking adventure. Where is the best location in the North East (outside of NY and NJ)? I've looked into East Burke and Killington. Where can I get as much variation as possible?

Did anyone decide to enter the Plattekill enduro in a few weeks time? Would be good to have someone to practice/ride/"compare lines" with.

I went to Sprain today, and I concur that the conditions are perfect. There were about 2 small patches of mud in the whole place. It was my first time and there's some really good stuff there. Lots of the fabled NE rocks...

So as an example, I wanted to race this enduro: http://tuscaroraoffroadweekend.com/courses/ But it says that cat 2/3 only race 2 of the 5 stages. If I entered I'd definitely want to do the whole course. Maybe this is an anomaly, I don't know. I like the idea of doing a cat 3 and then moving up...

Ok so I'm going to show my ignorance here... In the UK we don't have distinct racing categories (1, 2, 3, etc.) because everything is done solely by age. I've just signed up for a US racing license and put myself down for category 3 in everything. Now I've raced a fair amount, but thought it'd...

In. Hopefully all that winter carb loading will pay off. I'll be driving from NYC if anyone needs a lift on the way.

I'm going to be riding as many parks as possible this summer. What's this JORBA MCBP discount I hear of?

http://www.easternstatescup.com/2015/02/16/2015-vittoria-eastern-states-cup-schedule/ Anybody planning on racing some of these this year?

Those videos are cool; what a great idea. Cheers for the link. The US is pretty good so far. I'll reserve judgment until I've been riding :D

Thanks everyone for the tips! Can't wait to get out. Robson, I'll take you up on that offer as soon as I get set up. Shouldn't be too long.

Oh and another question...where is the best place to buy second hand bikes? I know pinkbike, ebay, a LBS and on here, but am I missing something as there doesn't seem to be that many around given the size of the country...

Awesome advice thanks everyone. One last question: is the best way to find riding buddies to post in the rides section (may be a stupid question), or is there a "secret way"?

Oh dear on the bear. I saw that film about the dude who thought he was friends with the bears and then one of them ate him and his girlfriend. The trails back home are a big mix. The centers are flowy and built specifically for beginners with cafes and whatnot. The natural stuff varies...

Jungle Habitat sounds amazing! Are any theme park related things left? What about the "1,500" animals? Are there any tigers? Why did I come...well my girlfriend made me move (she's from LI originally). The best things I've discovered about the US so far are that the portion sizes are...

Hey everyone I've just moved to the US from the UK and I am looking to get fully into the biking scene as soon as possible (aka as soon as the snow melts, I don't have a fat bike...yet). I live in Queens and work in NYC (sub-optimal, I know), but I have a car and will look to get away...
