currently in Columbia, SC, but grew up in Rumson. You can take the boy outta Joisey, but you can't take Joisey outta the boy. I often get asked, even after living in the South since 1992, "Y'all ain't rom 'round here, ar uh, boy?"

my response, of course?

i'm in cumberland county, nj. would like riding partners during week also, after work, but work schedule dictates timing. i usually ride solo during week.
check out south jersey outdoor club, south-jersey-wheelmen, or actionwheels (woodbury) clubs. SJW and Actionwheels offer club rides during the week.
spin safe,

wait it might be central

To me, South Jersey is anyplace south of Trenton. However, I've always been told that it is anyplace south of the Raritan river. As a kid, I thought south was south of the Mason-Dixon line (which Cowtown is).

I'm between Hopewell and Trenton. Now that I'm heading back for classes at TCNJ, it'll take some luck for my schedule and the weather to allow me to do rides during the week. However, I guess I could try to pull something off on the weekends. My 35-40 mile route up to Howell Farm/Belle Mountain and back is starting to get dull and I'm always up for something more interesting (and longer).

North Jersey here...right near Morristown to be exact.

I've been under the impression that South Jersey is pretty much anything south of 70...aka Bridgewater and below.

When home (attending college in PA) i ride with the Morris Area Free Wheelers, though i am the youngest member by a good 8 - 12 years i'd say.
