Hi folks, I've created a 24-hour mtb adventure in North New Jersey. This is all on public lands so it's legit, but I'm keeping it low key and off the radar. This is not an official race, but rather a self-supported adventure. If you're interested in participating, read the website thoroughly and...

I'm looking to go old school. What I'm looking for is a nice Xtra-Large full suspension 26" mtb, older is fine provided the build is solid. Dropper post a plus, but not required. Well maintained and basically ready to ride even better. Sub $800 would be ideal. email me: payton.macdonald [at]...

Dear fellow bikers! I've been working on a large-scale project for almost two years called the Sonic Divide, which is a performance art piece that involves creative music, ultra-distance mountain biking, and film. I rode the entire Great Divide Mountain Bike Route (2,500 miles) and while I was...

single speed conversion kit for sale. This the Nashbar conversion set, plus two other cogs I ordered from Bikeparts.com So you'll get a 16, 18, and 20 tooth cog. http://www.nashbar.com/bikes/Product_10053_10052_175492_-1___ I tried it for a few days, didn't like it, and am going to put my...

For sale is a Exaform 861 seat post dropper. 27.2 size seat post length is 365 mm I got this one new off of Ebay for $90. I used it twice and it works perfectly, but then I decided that I really don't need it as I'm not going to be riding single track very much for the next few years. So...

Hi folks, I am setting up a low-key, self-supported 12-hour mtb event (also a 6-hour version) at Ringwood. This is a chance for us enduro heads to get together and ride hard for a day. It will remain pure, focused on the ride and camaraderie, with no bells and whistles. This is not a...

Here is the ebay link with photos, etc: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cannondale-XL-Scalpel-3-2012-/301333763385?pt=US_Bicycles_Frames&hash=item4628e45539 I'd rather sell for local pick up than deal with shipping. I'll knock off $150 bucks right away and I will entertain offers. It's a sweet...

I've got about 200 miles on them, but they are still in good condition. Don't need them sitting around. You could easily get another 300+ miles out of them. $50 for both local pickup or $55 shipped for both. Email is best: payton.macdonald@gmail.com Thanks,

Just giving this a bump. I've had several people contact me, but I still have room for a few more. A unique and super cool 24 hour event that includes mountain biking, trail running/hiking, and a bikepacking component. No fees, totally self-supported.

I'm putting together a 24-hour mountain bike/trail running/hiking event for September 13-14 that will take place in Allamuchy and Stokes. It is entirely self-supported and will include a bikepacking component. There are required sections and then it becomes a kind of choose-your-own-adventure...

Yeah, I was thinking I'd head there in the early a.m. Rain is supposed to come in later in the day. But do you think it's too wet to ride? I don't mind the mud, but I don't want to trash the trail . . .

Hi guys and gals, I've got tomorrow off from work and want to head down to LewMo to ride for a while. Does anyone know if it's open? Or if they're hunting deer? Their website isn't helpful and when I called I just got a very out-of-date answering machine message that had no information...

So is Lee Mo officially open now? As of last week it was still closed.

As someone noted above, the idea is that you "compete" against other folks doing the same loop. So, for example, I'm planning on doing the 5-mile Yellow Trail loop at Lewis Morris as my first one. That's a common loop that lots of folks do, so once I post the GPX file then there will be an...

Hi guys and gals, I want to get into endurance mtb racing, but there don’t seem to be very many races around, or at least not when I’m in town. So using Norm’s “Beat My Time” sticky thread as inspiration, I’m creating a GPS-based endurance race format. The basic time frames I suggest are...

Jchoog, You can shed some weight by dumping the stove. You can usually roll through enough towns and plan ahead a bit that you can get what you need without needing to cook. But of course it's personal preference. I got my frame bag from Jeremy Cleaveland. His stuff is super solid and...

I'm pretty much obsessed with bikepacking. I'm doing the TransWisconsin next summer (650 miles) and hopefully TD in 2014. I've done a bunch of solo overnighters from my house in West Orange out to Stokes (about 65 miles each way). The google bike directions are pretty good for the road...
