Fell out of riding as often as I used to, but I am back at it and happier than ever. My bike continues to take a beating and I can only tune it up so many times. I've had the front and rear derailers replaced (at no cost) a couple of times as they were bent and I guess overall shot and not...

Rode Allaire today for the first time in a little while. Used to be there every weekend until I moved up to North Jersey, so I know the trails quite well. That said, how are conditions on the coke trail? Used to be my favorite trail until a storm a couple years back did some serious damage...

I'm new to this mountain bike racing thing. I used to race BMX, in which I was a part of the NBL (national bicycle league). I plan on doing the H2H series in 2010. I'm sure there's other races here and there that I will train for, but I guess my main question is- is there some type of league...

This weather sucks, but I'm off the next two days and am really itching to ride, let alone get out of the house! I've ridden before in the rain, but never actually went and loaded up my bike on my truck while getting wet....I feel like a little bit crazy... ..or am I? :popcorn:

I've got a Felt Q520, all stock except the clipless pedals. I've been riding a little over a year now and progressed pretty quick. I guess my bike hasn't been holding up to some of the beatings i've handed to it. My rear derailer is rather cheap (Shimano Alivio) and even though I have my LBS...

Rode 6 mile today for the first time...well, not all of it. I rode red and orange from the Rte. 27 parking lot out and across the road to where the blue trail begins, and turned around and went back. Rode for a little over an hour. Was a bit confused on the orange trail as I somehow did a...

I plan on hitting 6 mile on Monday. I live in Monmouth County. I plan on taking 522 west to where it meets Rte 27 (right in front of Trap Rock- place I used to pick up stone when I worked for a trucking company) and making a right, heading northbound on 27. How far from 522 is the parking lot...

I'm local to Allaire and ride Hartshorne on occasion...looking to venture elsewhere. I think I've been past Mercer County Park before, if I remember correctly. What's the terrain like? Any fast downhills, technical sections? I looked at the map and it looks like there's a good variety of...

I had minor surgery done back in August which put me out of commission for about 6 weeks. Now I'm trying to get back on track. I'm 5'11" 210lbs after being a couch potato for over a month (was 200 before that) and I've been off my bike for two months. Still haven't gotten back on the bike...

havent ridden allaire in about a month...how has it been? wet? dry? damp? how are the tiger woods and coke trails? i havent been down to the coke trail in about 4 months, cause its been too wet just about every time i ride to make a run through. might take a late morning ride tomorrow..

I post this as i sit and feel like a slob since I started smoking again. It hasn't affected my riding TOO much, problem is my motivation to ride has gone downhill fast. I feel tired and have no energy in the morning these days. Who else here is a smoker and how does it affect your energy levels?

Howdy girls..quick question for anyone who replies.. For the past year now, I've been talking my girlfriend, now 25, into mtb'ing. I did some browsing on here and picked up some advice first. We started off taking a few rides here and there on the boardwalk at the beach, just so I could see...

Gonna be going to Diablo when they open, but also planning on a trip to Mount Snow in June/July. I've never ridden anywhere besides Allaire, Hartshorne, Huber, etc...what should I expect? I ride a Felt hardtail right now, probably going to be upgrading my crank, front and rear derailers, and...

About a month ago I brought my bike into the shop for a free tune up. I get one whenever I want. I wasn't having any big problems at the time, but on a couple occasions the chain was skipping off of the front chainring, and getting stuck between that and the frame causing me to have to stop...

Rode Hartshorne about a month ago, and there were so many darn leaves piled up on the trails it made it kind of a crappy ride. Not just one layer, but to the point where I was literally plowing through leaves, and could not go very fast at all. Have the leaves started to decompose, pack down...

Can someone here reccomend a good fork for me. I ride a Felt hardtail with the original Suntour XCT V2 (I believe thats the one) that came on the bike. I've cranked it all the way up to make it more stiff, but I still feel like I get a bouncy ride out of it when thats not what I want. Overall...

Rode Allaire today, stayed off tiger woods since the last time it rained a lot some areas got soupy and thus a lot of ruts formed after it dried up. Went over to the river trail (don't really know any other name for it...the one that dead ends at the golf course) and was kind of upset when I...

Ended my ride this afternoon at Allaire around 430pm and saw a group of you guys I have been seeing every now and again head across the street from the Hospital Rd. parking lot onto a nice looking trail. Just wondered how long that trail across the street happens to be and how good it is. I've...
