Wild animals in the jungle, should be fun

Dropped the price from $5200 to $4900

Carbon frame 29er, upgraded to Eagle AXS electronic shifting, so much faster than manual. Full suspension with Fox 140mm travel in front, 130mm rear. Dropper post, hydraulic disc brakes front and rear. Color is doppio (a kind of coffee, similar to espresso). Purchased new for $6700 including...

Great shop. My go-to for the hard stuff, despite a 90 minute drive each way. I mostly ride Specialized and they excel in their knowledge there, in particular.

Just what is the deal on this place currently? I know at least most of the land is owned by the Boy Scouts, who apparently have their hands full with sexual abuse lawsuits now, a very sad history if true. For some reason, that seems to have affected the status of the trails for mountain biking...

I agree on Alpine, especially with the newer sections. Just what is the deal on this place these days? I know at least most of the land is owned by the Boy Scouts, who apparently have their hands full with sexual abuse lawsuits these days, a very sad history if true. For some reason, that seems...

Thanks to everyone working on and supporting this effort. Getting better all the time 🎹!

Rode it last Friday, 3/12, and I agree with a.s., it's mostly quite rideable. Wet only around streams and at the lowest points

Sounds like a great couple day trip, thanks! Hoping it's all not too virus shutdown. My sense is that PA is working pretty well in controlling the spread, with some mask deniers here and there

thanks Slingblade, I'll give Weiser a try. Too bad about Jim Thorpe. Are the trails still rideable, despite the sign? The town is fun and it would be a good day trip if the hunters and riders could've not pissed each other off. Doesn't seem that hard to avoid wherever I ride. Think it's...

I agree, Goldsbar, the terrain is very different there, tho not sure why. I assume some rock mining went on there at some point, creating all those odd rock setups. I was there this one time a few years ago, right after a lot of the Preserve had been burned, either a wild fire or controlled...

I have a place in PA, in the Pocono, so ride there a lot. Here's my ranking for NE PA: 5. Glen Park, East Stroudsburg - close to northwest NJ, right off 80, small network, one hard climb (if you don't whimp out and park near the top), some decent but short intermediate single track, but dirt...

Where are they? I've tried the map from the local bike shop and all it had was a boring climb and some gravel riding. Zero single track

When's the next work session, Brian? People are asking on the FB NJ Mountain Biking group

Looks great, Brian! Can't wait to ride it. A half ton! No wonder it was so hard.
