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...

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...

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...

There was a trail built right before the first race of 2011 and I can't for the life of me remember where it is. I'm taking a buddy of mine there on Saturday and would like to be able to find it. I'm planning on riding the 2011 race loop with tombstone / rattlesnake / pines trail thrown in.

My co worker is looking to get into mountain biking but doesnt have a lot of $ to spend on a bike right now. He's about 6ft tall so i think he needs a 19" or 21". $300 to $400 price range. He lives near round valley so disc brakes are preferred.

I was thinking of hitting up Wayway on Sunday in the late morning / early after noon. I would like to hit the race loop and ride some other sections. I don't know the park that well and could use a guide. Any takers? Any pace intermediate or slower would work for me. Thanks.

I've started this thing in hopes it will shame me into becoming a faster rider. A little about me I'm 29 and have been riding for about 2 and a half years , but after a bad injury in 2009 I decided to make 2010 a “just for fun” year. I concentrated more on bike handling and tricks more than...

Tracy road between lake surprise and the playground area in the watchung reservation is really bad. Its worse than usual. There are a lot more pot holes and gravel everywhere. Its not even smooth near the center line. I'm very glad I didn't hit it at full speed.

I'm off the bike for a little bit due to what feels like the beginning stages of tendonitis in my wrist so I started this list. Feel free to add to it. I could use the entertainment. You know your a mountain biker.... 1)When you hesitate (or downright lie) telling non riding people how...

Im finishing up a dirt jumper project and i dont want to cut the steerer tube too short. I was thinking of using 25mm of spacers to start then possibly lowering it if needed. It looks like alot of DJ bikes come 20mm stock with the same type of stem. Fork- marzocchi dirt jumper 2 (i cant...

The night before a ride fill the bladder 1/4 to 3/8 full of water,close the cap, inflate it and put it in the freezer. Make sure the side that the tube connects to is not touching the water. In the morning i have to put hot water on the cap to get it to open. Then fill in with water and put it...
