I am available almost always.Congrats!
What is your riding schedule? available during the day/during the week?
I may be putting together something for the 'new to this/getting back' crowd.
Sweet looking bike! Should last you a good amount of time, love my Giant. How were the trail conditions at 6MR?Here you go! Took it over to Six Mile Run today, which is where I was riding my old bike. What a difference! The dual suspension is game changing. Glad I came to MTBNJ and glad I went to Pops.

They were good. A couple low spots collecting some water. But it looks like they are working in some new trails back there.Sweet looking bike! Should last you a good amount of time, love my Giant. How were the trail conditions at 6MR?
Rutgers was one of the first spots I went to a couple months back when I decided to get into riding. I didnt really know where I was going or what trails to follow so I found myself kind of wandering aimlessly. Never actually found any momentum back there though.Have you been to Rutgers yet?

Anyone have any ideas if im looking for some double track with some good climbs? Not looking for anything technical, just looking to work on my endurance.
ride canal path to old georgetown road or copper mine road in franklin (?)
no traffic.

Same. No need to climb to build engine. Flat, long miles do it just fine.
wait - then climb one of those suckers!
less traffic than your warrenville rd hill repeats.
Hey Jim, I'm from South Plainfield like 5 minutes ride from where you start on the map. I did something similar a couple years back, but was kind lost on the rutger reservation, it seen like you know all the trails there. Are you riding this route any time soon? I send you a friend request on strava. Thanks.Yeah, that's the general vibe of Rutgers. I've worked out a loop that feels like a loop and has the best flow IMO. Loop is below in Blue.

If looking for climbs I would definitely recommend Washington valley park AKA Chimney Rock. There you can get a lot endurance. If looking for XC I normally park at my job that is 3 minutes from canal, I normally do on friday's 26 milles con canal and Blue to Red trail on six miles run and back to canal.Anyone have any ideas if im looking for some double track with some good climbs?
