Central NJ Mountain Biking Meetup
(join group to see full details)
Saturday at Allaire 1/21 10a
Intermediate level ride of at least 4 hrs duration (including breaks. Almost exclusively on singletrack trails.
Surfaces are generally packed sand, with pea sized gravel deposited at just a few dozen corners of the trail system.
Some roots in places, but overall not a particularly rooty area.
This makes for a fast-moving, fun-cornering ride. All logovers have bypasses.
Allaire is popular for MTB, so expect to see several other groups besides us and possibly a Wookie.
Mountain bike and helmet required. Remember water, snacks, tick repellent, spare tube.
Please, no portable loud music. Porta-johns in the parking area.
Sunday at Mercer 1/22 9a
One of the flattest and least physically demanding singletrack trail systems in NJ. But lots of surprises- heck of a lot of fun.
Narrow, turny trails in close proximity to trees, and not uncommonly... deer.
Trails follow a lakeshore, a couple streams and winds through hardwood forests.
Almost zero rock, but some roots. All of the logovers have bypasses.
A 2 to 3.5 hr event. We will return to the parking lot after about two hrs max.
Pace determined by the group. Stops at most trail junctions or at 7 min intervals, whichever occurs first.
Nobody left behind. This is a beginner to intermediate level ride.
Mountain bike and helmet required.
Remember to bring water, snack food, bug repellent, spare tube.
No portable loud music speakers, please. Facilities available at the parking lot.
Recent rain or snow may cause cancellation.
So check this web page for updates before you leave home.
If you know you're running late, then post at this web page before the meetup time,
