Hey everyone. I've ridden many of the parks in NJ in the past but it was a long time ago. I live way out in Hunterdon and have been riding the Columbia trail and working out at the gym, but want to get back into real trail riding. I did a beginner ride at Stephens at JORBA Fest June 18th. Looking for patient experienced female riders to help me get back on the trail or other beginners to ride with. My fitness is great, but pace on the trail is slow since I don't know the trails and my technical ability is "beginner." Any help is greatly appreciated - thanks, Rachael. 🙂
 
I live in your neck of the woods - my schedule is a bit crazy now with camp, but in August I'll have some "free" time to take you out 😀
 
I would be more than glad to go out with you! My skills are advanced beginner or intermediate at best so I don't mind keeping the pace slow.
 
I live out by you too and would gladly help you get back into riding. However, I do the bulk of my riding weekdays when most people are at work. If you are free during that time PM me.
 
Excellent - thanks so much everyone for your replies - hoping to get together with you all at some point. I am "upgrading" some gear right now (tires, helmet, gloves) and doing my best to get my workouts in!!

As of right now: I work (in Basking Ridge) every night until 6:00pm, 🙁 but can ride after work. Saturdays are free and Sunday later afternoons are free too. 🙂
 
I'm in a similar boat as chemgirl, I have more free ride time when people are at work. Weekends I'll prob be riding with my BF, but we'd be down for some company!
 
i live in the basking ridge area and would be more than happy to take you out at chimney rock on the weekend if you are interested. i have not been on my bike in a month and i am just happy to get out on the bike and enjoy it, slow pace doesn't matter.
 
@Sweaty Betty - chimney rock - ouch!!! I have painful memories of that place! Have not been there in aaages, that park scares me! I'd be willing to try again though.... 🙂
 
Hi I also rode the beginner and intermediate rides at JORBA last month. I'm inbetween, also looking for company to ride. I'm in Morris County. Let me know when/where or schedule a date and we can determine a ride location/time?
 
I will be heading out to Stephens this afternoon... Wheels down at 4.. I'm bringing my singlespeed ... planning for a solo ride, but anyone is more than welcome to join 🙂
 
@cdorsey .....great, maybe we can meet for Lewis Morris.

@Jam ....too bad I work until 6 or I would have joined you. I don't usually ride during the week until 6:45pm. :cry:

New tires are in.....yay!!

@Stump.. I usually ride later on Tuesdays. 6:45 is a good time for me. I'll let you know if I ride next week.
 
@Jam, not sure if you're riding this week but I'm away at the beach. Hope to catch up with you soon though.

And just so everyone knows, I'm riding the perfect beach bike... a "Huffy Regatta" 3 speed....with brakes that kinda sorta work - jealous!? Ha Ha!!!!😎
 
I'm open to riding this week if it doesn't rain: tomorrow (Tuesday 7/26) I'll actually be out of work a little earlier for a change (maybe 4:30 - 5:30). Got new tires and a cable replaced today so I should be good to go. Would love to try 6 mile sometime soon - have never been. 🙂
 
I am free to ride after 6 today... I imagine most places will be a little sloppy, but it's all good. I can do SSP or DP wheels down @6:45 if anyone is interested... easy pace (story of my life)
6 mile is a hike for me.. and honestly, if I'm gonna drive an hour+ I'd go somewhere else 🙂
