Parsippany Trails/After-work Rides

[PRFilms]

I started coming to Parsippany 3x per week for work. I plan on hitting up Tourne and Telemark. Any recommendations for other good spots close to Parsippany or (even better) after work rides that exist in the area?

Dickerson Mine is right down Rt 10W. If you hop on 80W, the Allamuchy trio are somewhat nearby. All depends on where you are in Parsippany and traffic.

I'm in Parsippany once or twice a week too. So this interests me ...

@JimN
Jim knows all the trails in the area, after riding them you may or may not think they are better.

Yeah, there are some pretty good trails in Morris Plains behind those ugly condos you can see coming down Route 10. Pretty small, but lots of climbing and rockier than the other nearby trails. I don't think they are worth traveling for, but if you're already in Parsippany, they are worth checking out. There's much better stuff up around Splitrock, depending on your definition of better.

Thanks, everyone. These are all excellent suggestions. I'm right by Wegman's so it'd be great to be able to ride over to some ugly condo trails when I don't feel like driving to bike. Otherwise, I'll be checking out all of these areas mentioned. I'm generally in the area Tues-Thurs

The Hyatt House? I live right nearby in Lake Parsippany. I'm not around this week, but hit me up.

Lots of rocky goodness up that hill in Morris plains. Used to be my backyard but apparently it’s expanded with a lot more trails since I was there.

@JimN talks it down because it’s not wildcat. To be fair wildcat is only 15 min from there and probably the best trails in NJ if you like that kind of thing. Having a guide for either is a big help, though.

Check out Trailforks, if you haven’t already, and yes @JimN

I talk it down because it's like half the size of the Tourne, though I do like it a lot for a quick ride. I'm also not looking to blow that spot up, because reasons 😉

 

[JPark]

Tourne is right there by the i80-i287 intersection

Lewis Morris is also close to your work spot for something different. I prefer all the other mentioned places better though.

Dickerson Mine for after work riding, Marty's cycle in Randolph has a weekly Wednesday 6PM (currently night) ride followed by a BBQ. Lots of cool people and a great park to ride, fun at night too.

Wait, what's behind the hill condos? Mountain Way? (checks map) Hey, did it disappear from trailforks?
