Is there anybody else biking in the Poconos? Every time I come up here, it looks like I'm the only one of these horrible hills. Just wondering if anybody bikes around Big Boulder, Jack Frost, Jim Thorpe, etc...

I will be. We are going there at the end of August for a family vacation. I plan to ride every day.

D, why else do people come here? :-) We're here for something that my wife calls a weekend of relaxation, but I call it the beginning of summer training camp. Just did 31 miles today, tomorrow probably running and Sunday again biking.

I live in NJ and want to do hill training on bigger climbs than we have around here. Are there any sites with route maps that incorporate the biggest climbs? I've googled this but haven't come up with anything that really helps..thanks.

I have a route from my stay last year. Actually it was Chrisuletz's place we rented so the ride was his. But I tracked it in my garmin. I will dig it up and post it later

This was a nice little ride.

And if you need a place to stay I could not recommend Chris' place enough. Perfect spot for a vacation. I will kinda miss it this year.
