Today's Ride

[Harvey]

A repost of the first post in the original "Today's Ride." It's a thread we'll need and was going to start with a new thread tonight, but it might be too damn hot out....

Actually it was yesterday. Twas a fine spring day in the neighborhood....

So I headed off down the street, on one of my regular rides...

The northwest part of NJ is loaded with great bike riding. We live at the southern end of a large area with great riding - back roads with little to no traffic. Stony Brook Road is a favorite. It's very close by and lead to rides of varying lengths...

It wanders past a few farms...

And some funky old farm houses....

While I usually stay on the roads, I ride a mountain bike, which has benefits. Stony Brook Road eventually turns to dirt, and that tends to keep it deserted...

...and peaceful.

Love this time of year.

Cape cod rail trail. No big deal except that I really needed the exercise- did about nine miles

Rode full loop at Sterling Forest this past weekend for the first time...wow what a awesome place so well built and fun. Will definitely be back again soon, maybe ride in reverse next time. I rode it clockwise.

Note: I uploaded this photo from iPhone and it showed up rotated..similar issue I had on old forum is there a way to do it on new forum?

Hey Mike,
It's a cool ride, what did you think about the rock bridge?
Clockwise is the correct direction..IMO the other way sucks..

Great scene last evening for the first Woodchuck Open DS. Had 50+ racers for the first night! Way to go CNY Freeride Team

Which rock bridge!? There were so many cool features I can’t keep track! If it’s the one I may be thinking of, it came up quick and I guess I wasn’t paying attention, my buddy riding behind me also tailgating me, somehow we both made it over the thing...because it was a row of pretty big boulders (if it’s what I think you’re talking about) I didn’t quite have the speed to skip through the gaps so I had to smash the pedals and somehow it worked out!

the one that comes up quick..I mention it cause it's all handmade... speed is your friend!!!

Last year's Stirling Meetup Ride was a good time, I'd make make the trip if that were to happen again!
