I downloaded a couple of free apps on my Blackberry and wasn't too happy with the functionality. Blackstar points you in the direction of way-points but it seems to get too easily confused. And the compass required you to move to give orientation. I also didn't like the idea of using my phone...

What is that, like two dollars American plus free health care?

Hey Jim, welcome to the site! I used to ride LM a couple of times during the week until it started getting dark right after noon-time. Also a beginner that got my first real bike in July.

Why is Simple Green not recommended for your bike? Of course I ask because that is what I use.

I would suggest knee pads when first learning. It gave me extra confidence with learning toe side turns. I used a pair of rollerblading knee pads under my pants.

+1 on that. I use gloves with integrated wrist guards. Also look into a helmet. When you are beginner you're going to fall and expect the possibility of other beginners to crash into you, especially on a crowded mountain. I had decent lessons at both Camelback and Hunter but wasn't to...

Multiple Ropes are blocking the trail. IDK, I think they reach up to five feet high. With a 26er you could definitely bunny hop it.:rolleyes:

Saw him as I was leaving the park today. It looked like a truck was going across the trail from a distance.

I've downloaded Blackstar, a geocaching app, BiM, a fitness app that also does mapping, and GPSed Lite, another mapping program. Hopefully I can give them a try today a Lewis Morris but it's the end of the fiscal year at my job today so I don't know. I'm really concerned about carrying my BB...

Swung by the REI store tonight since I saw a full parking lot. Unfortunately it wasn't open to the general public.:cry: The guy at the front door told me they open tomorrow at 10AM to the public. Since I've never been to an REI I really want to look around. Hopefully I get a chance after...

I would of guess that all the riders going through the stream would tear up the banks of the stream, accelerating erosion from all the rain this summer. But I'm guessing :D

Thanks for the link

Welcome to mtbnj.com, I don't know how they do it but they sure do it good....:D

Thanks for the advice, I picked up the Craftsman Mircotork for the in-lbs last night. If I need something for the ft-lbs range I'll probably get a beam type.
