Today's Ride

I agree 100%
Definitely destination worthy.
Some of the best riding in the country.
And we have good pizza close by to boot
Wow thanks @Low Angle Life @jasonwx --- NJ would have never been on my radar for MTB but now it is.
I've only been to NJ once about 15 years ago and was struck at what a pretty state it is--- certainly didn't live up to all the derogatory jokes.

Hit me up, I give tours !!!!!
 
Pretty cool someone donates $2.5M for trail building.

Thanks to $2.5 million from an anonymous donor, a world-class MTB trail system is coming to Western Massachusetts.​


FKNA right! Trail building is how I keep the lights on.

Ice on never dry creek

Biking is colder than skiing. Or maybe the clothes just aren't as good

Temperature regulation is more difficult on the bike, at least compared to resort skiing and riding. Biking is more akin to up-hilling. After 25 years of mountain biking, I still haven't quite mastered an on bike layering system for when it dips below 25. Wind layers trap moisture and inevitably lead to clammy discomfort. No wind layer and you can feel the cold air cutting through your layers onto your skin. Wool has been the best solution I've found yet. A 250 weight merino wool base layer paired with a slightly heavier ragg wool sweater on top is the best compromise I've found so far. Hands are a whole different issue, metal brake levers transfer all that cold directly to your braking fingers.
