Hey everyone, I just started my own NJ specific bike forum. There is not much there now but its up and running. I ride 90% on the road and the rest of my time I have some fun in the woods. Like I said the board is pretty thin right now but It will hopefully become a place for NJ riders to meet talk and ride. Check it out.

I'm in cumberland county, just bought a mountain bike for cardio/weight loss. So far I love it! I live in the country so I ride on the country rodes, and I also go to Parvins state park and do the trails there.

Donaldson Park in Highland Park is good for riding, hillier but smaller. And the roads in Northern Edison are good to ride on, mostly.

The leg of the trail heading north from Trenton is nowhere near that rough.
I did D&R couple months ago from Johnson Park in New Bruinswick to Princeton where the Lake is forgot the name and back to Johnson Park. I think that trails goes all the way to Trenton.

D & R canal path between New Brunswick and BoundBrook took a big hit with the Spring flood. Parts of the surface real rough and still being repaired. If you keep heading towards Princeton, jump off the tow path at Amwell road, cross the canal to canal road and continue on. Canal Road is a great bike route. For variation, once in Rock Hill, turn right and climb up the hill and come back to Amwell on River Road. Nice rolling hills.

Does anyone wanna go for a casual paced ride tommorow morning 8/11 in Morristown around Giralda Farms? There are 2 routes around. A short one and a long one. I dont have a preference on which route taken but I would love to get out and do a ride with a few other people. Let me know if your interested and what time would be feasable.

Another new to road cycling from South Jersey - right around where Action Wheel is in Wenonah, NJ. I'd just bought a Fuji road bike and loving every minute of it! I would love to join one of the local club, but I'm just trying to buildup my stamina/endurance so I don't embarrass myself. Hope to see some of you when I finally get better.
Cheers
