I glad you like the cliff notes version! If I ever finish the book, the first copy goes do my dear old ma. But you'll get one if the first for sure. Thanks for the ride invite, I will definitely take you up on that sometime,

Thanks for the writing style compliment and for the ride invite. Right now my work schedule is so erratic its hard for me to ride on weekdays. If I can, I will.

Thanks for checking out the blog. If you only read one entry, I would recommend Day 2. I haven't done the "re-integration" write up yet for several reasons. The two main ones being that I am currently trying to write a book about my AT trip, and that the time right after the trail is not a time...

When asked which was the most beautiful state on the trail, my go to answer is always Maine. While I thought every state was beautiful in its own right, Maine has such a primal beauty to it that it would be hard to put another state at the top of the list. Your Knifes edge story is absolutely...

Well thats better than how I saw it after already registering the domain name. Brothers On Heat

Hello everyone. It's been a long time since I've been on mtbnj. I stopped mountain biking 6-7 years ago and have only recently got back into it. During those 6-7 years, I did a lot of non-biking things including Thru hiking the Appalachian Trail with my brother in 2017. I wrote a blog all...

Great thread! I once had a standoff with a young buck at chimney rock. I was riding on the trail and 2 bucks were about 20ft ahead of me and did not move. I came to a stop and the deer just looked at me. i got of my bike and clapped and one of the bucks snorted, stomped his foot and lowered...

Cool, thanks. I usually try to avoid rahway park on tuedays. I was only there today because I wanted to fit a late afternoon ride in and the park is only 5 minutes from my house.

I was riding in rahway park today and forgot it was tuesday. For those of you who don't know, on tuesdays there is a pretty big (30 to 40 people?) group that that does a 20 mile ride at rahway park. They are stupid fast. Anyway, I was within 200-300 feet of the only sharp turn in the park...

Nice video! It didn't seem too long at all. The cuts were short enough to keep me watching. Good job as always. It's good to see other people wearing pads. I wear knee pads when I ride up north and always feel like a dork.

I'm glad to hear your recovery is going well. The Devils game was Sick! If both teams keep playing the way they have been playing it's going to be a very entertaining series. Go Devils!

I've been running tubeless for a year and a half now. Zero flats so far (knock on wood), much better overall traction. The only disadvantage is remembering to refill the stans every so often. I'm never going back to tubes. Just my 2 cents.

:hysterica Yeah, I know putting a dropper post on a xc race bike might seem like I'm trying to turn it into a freeride / allmountain bike, but thats not the case. I'm not hucking the bike off cliffs or hitting jumps. I'm just making the bike a little more fun for me to ride. Also, compared to...

I know. I kinda felt bad putting on an ugly dropper post on a bike you spent time on making pretty. If it makes you feel any better I did clean the bike after I took the pics...

First a little backstory I recently bought Lou's (soulchild) Flash 29er. Full specs can be found here. It's a great bike, highly customized, and light. I loved the bike from the first trail ride but something just felt a little off. Which brings me to... Why Compared to most people on...

Here you go. The Newmans lane parking lot is the most popular. Just click on it to get directions. http://www.mtbnj.com/wiki/Chimney_Rock

Six mile is fast, fun and flowy. Manny's vid shows it better than I can describe it. http://vimeo.com/26102543 Click on Jersey Knights soccer field or Canal entrance and you can get directions http://www.mtbnj.com/wiki/Six_Mile_Run Map...

+1. I was there last monday and had a blast. With all the *newer* it almost feels like a really long pump track. Great flow!

http://www.mtbnj.com/wiki/Six_Mile_Run Just click the marked parking lots and you can get directions. Route 27 lot is a little easier to find and is on the "twisty" side of the park.
