Hi fellow NJ bikers:

I am from Lakewood and love biking thru this area from the shore to the Delaware River and back ... happy to have you join me in rides from this area ... rides at 14 to 17 mph and are "NO DROP" type of rides. Feel free to contact me and let me know of your interests.

Woah, a HUGE New Jersey thread! Didn't see this one.
I'm in Somerset Co. Bound Brook to be exact.

I'd like to add to this: Nathan at Highland Park Cyclery seems to know what he's talking about, and saved my ride the day before a tour. Yes, HPC is expensive, but you get what you pay for.

Ad Jay's Cycles in Princeton to the list. I got my first road bike from them last winter, and they did some work on my old mountain bike.

I did a lot of riding in the Somerset area last year, and the Princeton Century, and Jersey Devil half century. I'm all the way up in Budd Lake now though, and haven't figured out where to ride around here yet. Also, my 2 riding partners were my room mate who now lives down in Bridgewater, and my ex.

I had some IT band problems at the end of the summer, and now it's just cold, so I've been kind of a lazy slob for a while now, but just got some rollers for winter training.

Anybody still riding in Jersey these days? I haven't been outside since October. Only spinning for me. But I'm seriously considering going out this week, probably to Sandy Hook. Anybody else?

I was really close to going out today. I think it was in the low 50s up, first day in a while I didn't feel cold when I went out.

But I'm recovering from a really late night, so I bailed.

I went out at around 2:45. It was too cold.
Weather Channel's website said 63, but now 57 for tomorrow. I hope it's warm enough for shorts. I'm getting tired of full-length tights.

I'm getting tired of NJ winters.

60+ deg F here in true south (NJ) was in the forecast.
no excuses... :-) !
spin safe!!

I went out to ride at 9 am and the roads near my home were ice covered! The road in front of my house didn't thaw completely until near noon, so I didn't risk it. Besides, the Giants were playing at 1.

I did ride 40+ miles last weekend, part road, part muddy rail trail. It was great! I don't mind cold weather as long as it's above freezing.

Up until last year I did a lot of winter riding. Almost everyday before work, but I don't think I could handle a 40+ mile ride this time of year.

59 today, 66 tomorrow, I'll probably go tomorrow.

WOW, if I wasn't going to the Rangers game tomorrow, I'd def have to get out.

Oh man, it's nice out there. I can't believe I got out of bed late.
I'm changing and heading out!

from morristown nj here! any freewheeler in here?

princeton junction.. sadly I am currently bikeless, but that will soon be fixed

I hadn't thought of this till just now - I made a frappr map so we can visually add our locations to the map!

On the name thing don't forget to include your forum name, and I made 3 pins - "MTB," "Road," and "Road & MTB."

Finally made it, my first ride in 3 months, it was sooo awesome!!! Went to Sandy Hook, did a short loop (too cold and windy), and back to Middletown. Too bad the weather won't last.

Still in Hunterdon County.

Just recently moved to North Bergen in Hudson County. I ride in the early morning hours (5-5:30am) along River Road which I must say is the worst for flats.

I should have called out sick one of those days. Now it's back in the 30s!

My parents live in West New York and I hate riding on river road. Whenever I feel the need to go up to the bridge I just take boulevard east and the other roads that parallel the river. It makes for a much more pleasant, albeit much more urban, ride.

I like riding down towards Jersey city and hoboken on river road...more shoulder space, better things to see.

Somerset Co. Ride fixed most of time in winter above 25F....

I ride alll over NJ Morris, Warren, Hunterdon, Sussex...

nice day out there today...did 90mins on the Hyrbrid...
