I have nothing to add regarding the fight, except thanks for raising awareness. The note from the Mayor certainly sounds promising. Generally I don't worry too much about these issues killing our trails. Seems the overwhelming desire is to restrict access the hardest against anything with a...

I think a good rule of thumb for Lewis Morris is 2 days of sunshine after a heavy rain = perfect dirt. Roots & rocks are just slick enough to be interesting, dirt is tacky. Good times.

Thanks a million Greek. That's exactly what I was wondering. I can't wait.

That's kind of what I thought Greek. I get to ride great trails all weekend an hour from home. Also gives me motivation to ride harder and get in top shape all summer. So, let me ask, is each timed segment essentially a rolling start, basically you get there, take a breath, then go when...

Hey guys, I'm planning to give this a shot. Been riding DH for years and raced a few seasons back in the day. I think the Enduro race format looks like a blast. Anyone here done it in the past or plan on trying for the first time...

"Worth it" depends on how/what/where you ride and how much money you have. But with that said, short answer, yes.

The real risk is that you pull it, work on it until it is working, then find out after rebuilding the bike, it isn't working... Triumphs were known to be highly unreliable even when they were new. If you go to the trouble of restoring it, you're better off finding a working engine and putting...

Warrior dash is the adventure race for the masses. And they do all the "tough" stuff a little tongue in cheek. I did one about 5 years ago in windham. It was a blast, but don't take it seriously, round up a good group of friends, and bring lots of beer. I agree it's a bummer they are coming...

Mtbbiker5, how was the running? Trail running is my "plan b" once the riding season kicks off but still a great time.

Darn it. I ride chimney rock 3x/week and thought that bridge closure was fantastic. It was kind of like living on a cul de sac. $1.3m you say? I can tell you one area they wasted a ton of money. I watched in amazement one afternoon as the workers applied real stone w/mortar to the cement...

http://forums.mtbr.com/passion/win-your-choice-any-santa-cruz-bicycle-815586.html#post9725085 This is a brilliant fundraiser in its own right, but I also thought someone on here may like to replicate it for our local NJ trails.

No camera of course, but my buddy almost hit a bear on the IndyCross "trail" at Mountain Creek. He almost hit the bear, i almost hit him. He/she stared us down for a sec then jumped over a berm into the woods. Nowhere for her to go so we backed up and gave a wide berth. Seen plenty of...

LOL...yeah, i hear ya. I'm cool with the rocks. I appreciate the feedback. So, sounds like we should pack a lunch, beers and any equipment we may need right? Assuming they don't have quite the extensive base area accommodations of mountain creek.

Didn't want to hijack the Blue thread. I usually go to MCBP, but have been all over the east coast. I like the novelty of new trails. However, I only get to ride DH 3 or 4 times/month. And MCBP is a known great time. Especially enjoying a few post ride beers & the 'scenery'. Is Launch...
