    Ask Norm Next Tuesday

    Being Tuesday, I am wondering if there is a question in here for Norm. Is it a polite request to weigh-in on Nickleback i.e. is Nickleback more palatable performing other artist's songs, or Nicleback's original material? With regards to coffee, specifically grinders for particle sizing, I'm...

    Following are the trail systems I rode in July: Allamuchy Allamuchy North Kittatinny Valley State Park Stephens State Park Wildcat Ridge Columbia Trail The 68 hours listed in my Strava recap for July apparently includes about 3.5 hours of walking, which is in-line with the ~64.5 hours ride...

    July 31 1hr, 56min. I completed the 31/31 this evening with another ride down to Califon and back. Congratulations to all who completed their goal of 21/31 or 31/31!! Fortunately, the air quality was not too bad in July, and only seemed to be rated as moderately unhealthy only a few days...

    July 30 2hr, 6min With the cooler weather today, I was able to wait until mid-afternoon to ride the Allamuchy North trails. This was certainly a lot more effort than 2 hours on the road would have been.

    July 29 2hr, 29min I rode along the top of the Schooley's Mountain Ridge SW and dropped down into Califon at Hoffman's Crossing. I returned via the Frog Hollow (GFNJ Climb #4).

    July 28 1hr, 43 min I took a ride before the blast furnace comes on this afternoon. Coincidentally I came across Furnace Street on today's ride. I stopped on the bagel shop on the way home.

    July 27 1hr, 42min Kept it local and avoided the big hills. It seems that skeletons are now a year-round thing. I see them in a lot of yards, and their "focus" or "activities" change for the various holidays throughout the year. These first 2 are at the same house - from today and July...

    July 26 2hr, 20min Wildcat Ridge was extra tough for me on day 26 of 31 of this 31/31 challenge. The view from the Hawk Watch was a bit hazy today with the reduced air quality. The oppressive heat and mosquitos added another level of discomfort. So at the end of the ride in the afternoon...

    July 25 1hr, 18min Kittatinny Valley State Park. The trails were quite dry, except for a few wet spots. Unfortunately, the ride was cut short by a thunder storm.

    July 24 2hr, 9min This was a low intensity, late morning ride before I had any breakfast. I stopped at the bagel shop on the way home and wasn't hungry until I got there. Unfortunately, the selection of bagels was very limited although I should have expected that after 1pm.

    July 23 2hr, 54 min I didn't venture into Spook Hollow during my gravel ride yesterday in Bedminster for obvious reasons, but today I went through Comb's Hollow. Fortunately, the scariest thing was on the other side of the Hollow - and it was the road milling on Mountainside Road. And...

    I think this is the first time seeing a 6MR dragon without a tail (Orange trails) and with the "fire" coming out it's nose.

    July 22 2hr, 23min I still need to replace the rear tire on my MTB but I had a taste for some dirt, so I hit the gravel and dirt roads of Bedminster.

    July 21 2hr, 21min Just riding around on top of Schooley’s Mountain - not looking for elevation, but it just happened.

    Yup, foot in mouth. Aspen or not to Aspen?

    Wondering if “pinches” means you are using tubes and not tubeless on MTB.

    I saw many fungi while MTB in Allamuchy on Thursday. If anyone cares to see the pictures, I have posted them in Soundz’s Mushroom thread. See link below: Post in thread 'The Official Mushroom Thread' https://www.mtbnj.com/forum/threads/the-official-mushroom-thread.50712/post-1203811...

    I saw lots of fungi in Allamuchy, while biking on Thursday. I am posting these pictures for interest and entertainment. I realize they are probably not sufficient for identification. Coincidentally, I saw lots of red-colored ones on the Red trail.

    July 20 3hr, 14min I went to Allamuchy, starting from Waterloo Village for the first time. Usually, I'd start from the Continental Drive lot, but I wanted to avoid the multiple, sustained climbs on the Yellow and white trails. I decided to go up Earthworm instead, and unfortunately, my rear...
