jersey city!

Ceres is right at the intersection of 55 and alt 553. Manantico is sandy on the right side of the main rd, but on the left there is alot of hard packed gravel. You may have to spin trough a little sand at first, but it doesn't last. if you're goin out there on a weekend let me know and i'll show you where i like to ride.

From Burlington Twp. here. You can visit our webpage at https://mysite.verizon.net/teamnjang for more info.

Is this park reachable from Lambs road, Pitman? If you follow the stream south, do you get to Alcion Lake (again in Pitman). Old stopping grounds for me (if this is the place). We called it "Lost Lakes", but I know also it's called Mantua Park (or it was). It's been a good 10 years since I have ridden there.

Try GCC x-country trails or Parvin State Park, both have some interesting areas!

Mind telling me how do you commute to Brooklyn?

I'm from central NJ- Manalapan.

It is right off of Lambs road. It's probably the same place your thinking of. The local kids have been building some nice trails there. Parvins has some nice trails if you know where to look. Have you been down the long swampy trail in the back yet this year? Last year it was rough. It's probably under water right now anyway thanks to the rainbow lake washout. I'm gonna try to get there this weekend to see how bad the damage is.

i got the mtb out today and went to west park, vineland area, at Maurice river. almond road (540) is closed at the bridge, water is everywhere, roads are still closed. parvin lake and all around there still is swamped. the trail near the dam on parvin-mill rd is water covered. when i ride in the back area (with those little step bridges of 1 x 12 x 36 -48 inch boards), i walk the bike over.
maybe i'll see you riding on the trails sometime!

Yeah dude, i'll be out there. I park my yellow jeep by the boat ramp. look for the fat guy on the silver Motobecane. later

although i have not purchased my road bike as of yet, i figured i will still post since i represent jersey. plan on buying the road bike within the next month.

but i am representing gloucester county, williamstown. hopefully in time it will be nice to meet up with some other people in south jersey to find some nice places to ride.

later.

Check ActionWheels (woodbury), Peddlar's Shop (deptford), Pro-Peddels-(hammonton*), Beacon (Vineland, Egg Harber Twnshp) for decent wheels road or trail, or in-btween!

South Jersey Wheelman's Bike Club "Get Ready Metric Century" will be here 6/2/7. Hope to see you there (Ft Mott, Salem County) with your new bike!

Bergen county, Mahwah, checking in.

I got a sweet 1980 something yokota 12 speed i'll sell ya. just needs some TLC. j/k
Let me know when you get one and I'll show you some sweet routes.

Went to White Clay yesterday, and it's dry. Dirt was sticky and perfect. I Jersey'ed all over that place.

Thanks for the information on the different bike shops around the area. I was only familiar with Action Wheels and Peddler's Shop, but will also check out the other two places, Pro-Peddels and Beacon, for a decent first road bike. Planning on sticking to the road than compared to riding off road. actually i did go to peddler's shop like a week ago and they had an 05 fuji team pro for $1399 and the guy said that he probably would be able to sell it for $1299, but at that time i was not sure if it was a good deal or not. came home trying to do some research on it, but was not really able to find out much, only that the msrp on fuji's website was $1998.

as for the century, it seems like alot, but hopefully by 6/2/07, and be somewhat fit. As of having no bike now, i have just been running in the morning for 2 or 3 miles depending on how much time i have and how i feel.

if i don't make it to the "get ready metric century" already made up my mind that i am going to do the bikephilly and there is supposedly another ride from the ben franklin bridge to ocean city, both in september i believe. really wanted to do the 5 borough bike ride in new york, but with no bike as of yet, will probably end up doing that next year.

as soon as i get my road bike and become comfortable in riding in the streets and being safe, you can show me some places around jersey.

I live in Jersey City. Spend lots of time on the bikeway and 9W. Not fast, but game for distance.

Groveville here! Mercer County,

Anyone think a NJ subforum would make sense?

Bee You Tee Full Burlington Twp., here

Burlington City and not loving it.

Well, if you see a middle aged guy trying to teach himself to ride around Mother's Kitchen, that's me!

I spend a good amount of time in East Brunswick; always looking for good places to ride

Well I will look for you if you keep your eyes open for an old guy on a Green and Silver LeMond

Cheers,

Brian
