Never gonna let you down.
The man made stuff was pretty blatant, surprised it lasted that long. Also laughed at “trail damage” and “damage to the environment” in the memo. Essex county trails are a mess and that has nothing to do with mountain bikers. The trails in the mtb legal parks are actually maintained and built to stand up to use and drain properly.

Yea I wish the people with that much time and passion for the sport would put there effort in were it might actually make a difference. Building sketchy features within eyesight of the rail trail and peoples back yards is not a good recipe for the mtb community
The big picture here from my per view is that there is a local government who is blocking the will of the people to use open space in a way that they desire.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that organized team sports will not be happening for at least 1 more year. This means that there is no better time to MTB than right now.
6mr is getting hammered from overuse. We NEED more places to ride in NJ.

Someone ripped their athleisure avoiding an errant cyclist, eh?
Jokes aside, the local kids had much pent up energy in the spring and went to town in highly visible spots. I tried reasoning with a few, but ... kids. They clearly need an outlet. Maybe one that doesn't jeopardize access.

6MR will always be overused, you could put mooch next door and euro gang, mud slingers and the fam an will always go to 6MR.

RFP's for said statues during the next budget cycle. Make sure your donation is recorded. Contracts, the raison d'etre.

Whoever gets the contract to build the statues will have to pay him off first though.
Could not have said it better. It seems that
Joe D would rather spend the county’s money on bocce courts and huge billboards with airbrushed photos of his own orange head than on things the community would use. I’ve never seen anybody playing bocce in Cedar Grove but could imagine how well used a pump track would be in that location. The general distain for bikes is one of many reasons we left Essex.

Ya see i take the opposite approach and ride/build in all the illegal places which probably just makes things worse but whatever.

We’ve been looking to buy a house in Essex county for years in order to leave Passaic. Then on the way to an open house in Greenwood Lake we discovered Ringwood State Park and 3 years ago we bought our house in Ringwood. I feel so blessed!
I started this way too. I’ll likely finish this way in later years of my life. I still think that organized, well funded and permanent spots for people to ride should exist in greater numbers.

Why the hostility toward mountain biking from this politician? I heard about it but never got to know why...
