New here from Boonton

Hey guys, not exactly new to the sport but rather back into it for the exercise and excitement since gyms are closed. I'm riding an old yet very reliable Gary Fisher Level Betty. Wildcat Ridge is in my back yard, often hit the Tourne after work and starting to explore other areas around me as well. It's been years since I've been out on the trails and I'm loving it once again !!!! - Tom

Welcome.
Mtbing is way more fun then the gym. Wildcat has many miles of good trails, you're in a great location.
Gary Fisher is awesome, a true pioneer of the sport, however, he would probably approve if you bought a new bike.

New bike? Nonsense.. Betty rides just fine. I'm keeping my eyes open, next bike might be a carbon hybrid. Buddy of mine rides a Specialized Cross Trail Carbon, such a nice riding bike!!!! My time in the woods is coming to an end soon.

Joins mtb forum...plans to stop mtbing. Lol. Keep sending it. Gravel is a hoax and roads are more dangerous than woods.

Welcome to the site. Sorry to hear that you think your time in the woods is coming to an end soon. Don’t count yourself out. As to your bike, while I can appreciate the reliability of an older bike(I’ve barley had to do anything to my 1993 26er), a modern bike such as a 29er is a game changer. Other choices such as Ebikes allow people to stay on the trails longer. Enjoy

@tommyD would never approve of gravel bikes.

So as I was keeping an eye on Craigslist this 2015 Camber Comp popped up and I jumped on it. Talk about a game changer, I appreciate the advise here !!! Bike has some upgrades already. I'm going to throw a set of tires on it and do a basic service on the suspension. Had it out on the trails once, just had eye surgery so I'm down for a few days.

Congrats on the bike. Some people say that a 29er is cheating. If being able to ride more types of terrain and for a longer period of time is cheating, I’ll take it. Enjoy.
