    Watchung News 12/9/2016

    I was going to post a reply in line with this but didn't want to get into an online war. I think people like this will never be convinced regardless of facts

    Dusting off at 44

    Just wanted to say thanks to everyone on this forum for some great advice and to those friendly faces I've seen on the trails. While I didn't get to meet anyone in person I'm sure I've past a few at 6 mile and at my 1 ride at LM. I'm hanging up the bike for the season as I'm getting a SLAP...

    *Wanted* Thule T2

    If you like the T2 and have the budget, look at the 1up USA rack. I went from a Thule (a great rack) to the 1up and can't be happier.

    Online Spin Bike

    Walter thanks. This will be my 2nd labrum repair in 3 years and I was out the first time for about 8 months. I'm not looking forward to this. Undecided at this point. There is the wife factor to consider and not having to drag my mtb into the house. She doesn't ride but enjoys different...

    Online Spin Bike

    Will look into the suggestion. Thank you. With just a brief web search it seems there is as much debate over the use of a trainer verse a spin bike as the the benefits of a 27.5 verse a 29er. LoL

    Online Spin Bike

    Sorry about the multiple posts. Seems when the forum was down, my original post was submitted a few times. So I have been using spinning classes to up my cardio fitness when I can't ride, and I have been enjoying it. I found this on kickstarter and thought it was a great idea. I tend to...

    road bike seats

    I agree go to the local shop and get measured. When I got my new bike,I did one ride and was sore. Walked in to high gear and they measure me and recommended a seat with a guarantee that as long as I keep the packaging and the seat in good condition, they will take the seat back and work with...

    No bikes at Watchung Reservation?

    Does anyone think petitions on change.org would help? Not sure how many union county residents we would be able to sign, but at least then it's official documented. I'm sure I can get my friends and neighbors to sign.

    No bikes at Watchung Reservation?

    Watchung being in my backyard, I'd be willing to help with anything to get riding back there. When I joined JORBA I had a few email exchanges with the President on where to start but seems like a huge challenge. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 2

    Anyone wearing knee pads?

    So I was out at Six mile on Sunday and I took a turn, nothing crazy, not fast, but I guess I shifted my weight wrong and my back tire slipped from under me. Needless to say I went down, and scraped up my knee pretty bad. I cleaned it the best I could on the trail with the first aid kit I...

    Roof rack 101. What do I need?

    Agree with all points about using a hitch. I just switched to a 1 Up USA rack. Very expensive but if you want ease and great engineering this is the rack to get.

    Hold your breath over the bridge on Blue...

    Saturday was my first time over that bridge, and I was really hoping it wasn't the norm. It was enough for me to feel sick as I was huffing and puffing, then held my breath for as long as I could afterwards.

    I'd like to be a smaller person

    I went to the LM ride last night for the first time and agree really friendly group. I was so bad on the hills. I think I walked up more then I was able to ride but everyone was supported. I really need to get the legs and lungs in shape.
