I have been reading about the rumors of mountain lions on the boards here for years with the problem being that there is never any hard evidence other than people just seeing them. Well supposedly someone in Central NY got a photo of one. If they are in Central NY is it very feasible that they...

I was wondering for those familiar with surfing; how is the surfing in Maine and NH? What is the surfing season? I am looking for some more activities for the off seasons. Can you get a nice wet suit and surf when it is frigid? I have never even touched a surf board but am interested. Thanks.

If anyone wants to meet up i'm wanting to take a slow ride through difficult terrain at Blue Mountain Tomorrow (Monday the 6th) at 11.

So i am putting in my notice today at work. My girlfriend and i are moving to Portsmouth NH at the end of September. I will be working in Andover Mass so there will be plenty of biking in between. I never got to ride with hardly any of you unfortunately, or fortunately for you, who knows. I was...

I developed a sprained ankle out of nowhere. I was hiking Sunday and i think i can recall an incident where i did a motion that gave me a scare but it didn't sprain. If it did happen it was such a minor thing that i can't even recall if it happened. Monday, fine. Then on Tuesday it felt a little...

VTalum2001 was looking for some new pads as the Rock Gard'n set she got last year are uncomfortable for her. She went with the new female specific Raceface pads. While on the site she pointed me out the new men's pads that only cover the top of the shin: They are called Race Face Zero...

So i went to an interview Friday, North of Boston in Andover, so my girl and i decided to make a weekend trip out of it. We got to ride Harrold Parker State Forest near Andover on Friday, Fort Rock in Exter NH Saturday, and briefly ride Westwood in Guilford CT on Sunday. This is what we found...

I am a big hop head.... Ok, i drink a lot of IPA's and hoppy beers. At this point after trying pretty much any new IPA i come across i find myself rarely excited by a new IPA. I can't remember the last time i got excited by a new IPA but i picked up a sixer of Arcadia IPA last night and...

So i was thinking about getting a road bike. Do road bikes hold their value more than MTB's or something? Because i wouldn't mind getting a 10 year old bike that was awesome for its day for cheap, but i can't seem to find them. Is there a comparable mtbnj.com for the NJ riding community where i...

Here is the Pivot Mach 5 frame i picked up from Darkhorse Cycles on Saturday. Everything except the front derailleur and the headset were switched over from my Trance. Expect more bling on this bike in the near future. And here are some "action" shots from Blue on Sunday:

Did anyone else just see that? They had a $3,000 Santa Cruz Blur XC up for sale for $1,560.00 on Chainlove. I put one in my cart and was going to order it for a friend. Called up my friend, got his payment info, went to checkout and it was removed from my cart; gone. Called them and they were...

Anyone have a detailed description of the status of Mooch North? Any of the trails in better condition than others? Thanks.

First off, the ride is Sunday 11/2 but i apparently can't change the title with the edit feature. I'm going to ride Allamuchy this Sunday with a 10:30-11 starting time at the Tranquility lot for those interested. Will be a medium paced intermediate ride. There will be stops with big uphills...

Will there be a MTBNJ picnic this year? Sorry if this is old news but i did a search for 'picnic' and nothing came up.

So does one of the posters on here drive or know someone who drives a gray Audi Allroad with two bike mounts on the top. After my ride today i drove past you near Ringwood, we both had his and hers bikes on top of the exact same car with the exact some mounts. I like your style, lets hang out.

So i enjoy riding techy XC. I feel i do well on techy climbs and the flat short ups and downs. But i am horrible at descents. Most of my accidents, some bad, are on techy descents, which i'm sure is not unrelated to a fear i have for them. Most riding positions came to me naturally, but getting...

Has anyone here rode Leominster and/or Lynn Woods in MA? I was just wondering how they compared to the local places. I am heading out to these places this week and want to be well prepared.

So i just ordered a set of Easton AM Havoc wheels from JensonUSA for a pretty good steal. Not being very bike maintenance savvy i was wondering do i need to get them serviced or is it safe to just mound them up and ride. I wouldn't be putting a ton of miles on them from the get-go, i was...
