    For Sale: Saris Bones 2 Trunk Rack

    Used a bunch of times on my 2011 Subaru Forester, I recently got a new Forester and because of the spoiler can no longer use. Disappointing because this rack is really simple to use and never gave me any problems. Holds 2 bikes with ease. Check out link below for details and to see if it fits...

    new to biking from Lake Hiawatha

    Although you probably won't run into any trouble at Tourne, there is (in theory) only one trail (white) which mountain bikes are allowed. See recent threads in the Tourne page for more info. Suggest you check out Lewis Morris, Deer Park, and Six Mile if you have the time for a little bit of a...

    Tourne County Park Conditions

    Hoping to check out Tourne for the first time on Sunday...as I've never been, I am unfamiliar with how well (or poor) it drains...I assume it should be ok by Sunday, any thoughts?? Thanks!

    Trail Recommendation

    Monmouth County does a good job with their maps and trail rating difficulty system...although nothing too technically difficult in Hartshorne, the blue trails (as indicated on map) are definitely a little easier to ride than the blacks...My first (and only) time there I did have to walk a bit...

    Why we ride...

    I wrote a haiku: biking in the woods therapeutic for the soul alone or with friends

    high mountain blues?

    Checked out High Mountain for the first time after work on Friday, so didn't have too much time to get lost, which I did...took Red up to Yellow, then lost Yellow pretty quickly...Red was clearly marked, Yellow not so much, unless I just lost it. Sun was going down on me, so I just double...

    MTB at High Mountain?

    I grew up in Bergen County, spent a lot of time in my youth going to the Ramapo Reservation, or up to Bear Mountain, but strangely I have never been to High Mountain. I can't find anything that says bikes are not allowed there, but I also can't find anything that says they are. Anyone know the...

    Hartshorne/Huber Conditions

    Hi all, I Will be spending some time in the Long Branch area this weekend, and was thinking about hitting up Hartsthorne for the first time. From some recent posts seems like the trails are in pretty good shape. Any advice as far as a route for a first timer (at Hartsthorne, not on a bike)...

    First Time Ramapo Advice

    So I had a little time to kill after work on Friday, so I figured I'd give it a shot...rode (if you call what I did riding) down yellow, around the lake, and up the fire road. Yellow was definitely more challenging than I thought it would be, more than a few times off my bike walking. I really...

    First Time Ramapo Advice

    Thanks El Z and others for responses...think I will start with the Yellow for my first time before throwing myself into the fire of Cannonball. I have done some hiking in this park, so I am familiar with the rocky and raw terrain. Looking forward to checking it out, thanks again!

    First Time Ramapo Advice

    Hi all, New to forum, and relatively new to MTB. I am thinking about checking out Ramapo, specifically starting at the top of Skyline taking the Yellow down to the lake, taking Blue up to Orange along the ridge back down to the lake and back up the fire road to the lot. My MTB experience is...
