greetings I am new to this site just found it the other day via myspace...
not to experienced with mountain bike riding.
2 years ago I tried to ride lewis morris with 1997 gary fisher zebrano. After 3 attempts I gave up. I did take it to patriots path may times but stopped whenever I got to the hill going into lewis morris.
Last year I bought a specialized mountain bike and figured since I had the tools I could tackle lewis morris no problem. I went riding with a beginners group at lewis morris 3 weeks after getting the bike. I was not used to the clipless pedals (they were way to tight and I could never get my foot out). Well one of the other beginners cut me off and I fell. Of course like a dummy I stuck my arm straight out on my way down and broke my elbow. It took months to heal (will never be 100 % again). Could not ride all summer due to the pain in my arm.
Anyway I loosened up the pedals have started riding it on a very short path near my house. Are there any places near Hopatcong that would be good for me to ride on? I don’t mind going back to lewis morris but there is some bad karma there for me so I want to go somewhere else first.
