Where did you ride (IN NJ) in 2022??

[JimN]

Ticked 14 off the list this year. Not horrible.

Of the places on that list, I think I'm at 8 or 9, so I'd say that's not too bad.

 

[SAM]

Just rode Allarie. I'm at 12 now. Still a few days left in 2022...

 

[Norm]

I got 16 in state and I think 30 out of state this year.

 

[Andypowerful]

I'm at 12. Maybe I can add a few more before the end of the year. Did Creek 45 times this year so that occupied a lot of my time.

 

[UtahJoe]

21, not bad.... 4 or 5 more that arent on the list that I can think of....some that probably shouldnt be @jdog you could also add watnong park in morris plains nj....aka mountain way park...its a legit spot now. Oh and Liffy island in jefferson.

 

[JimN]

its a legit spot now

That's debatable.

 

[UtahJoe]

That's debatable.

if Hedden is on this list than watanong should be.

Showing everyone the map to all the dirt jumps and secret spots in NJ

 

[JimN]

if Hedden is on this list than watanong should be.

Hedden shouldn't be on this list. Neither should places where the majority of the trails are rogue trails

 

[goldsbar]

There's only like two miles of trail there though. If that.

Yeah, but it's a solid 30 minute add-on to Dickerson Mine with the extension trails and the exact type of techy trails you usually like. Put two small parks together and it's a decent ride.

 

[Norm]

Mountain Creek at only 16 surprises me a little. I would have expected higher based on conversation through the year. Also surprised that nobody has ridden Colliers Mills. Perhaps they all got lost trying to figure out what and/or where it is?

I guess, but if we add every town park in NJ that has 2 miles of trails, the list is going to be huge and silly. I rode over to Hedden from Dickerson Mine once in 2015 and never went back, but I also don't really ever go to Dickerson Mine. It's probably a good little spot for locals though.

 

[ChrisG]

Everyone's commentary is only reminding me what a compromised year I had on the bike in 2022.

I can only think of 5 spots I rode over the entire year.

 

[zmartene]

Now that I live here, and have a new work schedule for 2023 with a lot more weekdays off (read: child care), I'm really looking forward to hitting more places. The riding here is really amazing - great variety both in terrain and skill level.

well im thinking this survey is suffering from a participation bias of sorts...I mean I LOVE wildcat but I have a hard time believing its more popular that the Tourne or Dickerson

Having this be huge and silly is kind of the point. It’s helpful to understand where in the state we are actually riding, what we are missing out on etc.

From the perspective of Jorba it may help ID parks that aren’t on the radar for trail work.

Just a game like any other.

 

[JimN]

Old Troy Park in Parsippany has 2 miles of trail.

There's also a tiny park in Livingston where JORBA built a trail about ten years ago, Prospect Park I think it's called?

 

[JimN]

And how could we forget @Wrong Way Dan's favorite place, Jonathan's Woods.

 

[Norm]

How is Tatum not on this list?

Nah, it’s not my cup of tea.😉
