    Thanks for checking in! Yes, we are starting to have a presence in Stokes. Jeff Stickle's group Black Bear Cycling has expanded beyond Wawayanda and is now doing some basic maintenance in Stokes. I just bumped into Jeff at the kids race in Jungle Habitat and he has some cool ideas for the...

    Who's dog is that anyway? Great looking pooch! (Ah nevermind... Halter's shop dog, cool. Now, I'm a fan) Build is looking so nice. Where's the bamboo?

    Alexandria Pump Track Build Dates

    It took 8 months of hard work and negotiations with the town of Alexandria by Bob and Jenny Adase. More here: http://www.alexandriapumptrack.com We hope that once this is done and is a massive success, future projects will go much smoother. Being centrally located, it might be easy to use...

    WMBA Fest is a GREAT time. You have nice rocks over there. :getsome: Thanks Matty, I think when we picked the date we knew yours and made sure we didn't schedule on the same day. After all, we're all going to your fest too :) Thanks for posting the date JD.

    Trail Maintenance

    Morning folks. Sorry that I'm a little late to this topic. Marc, you're correct. Norm Albrecht is helping organize/coordinate our activities within Morris County Parks but there are quite a few irons in the fire (Lewis Morris, Mahlon Dickerson, Sparta Mtn WMA, et. al.) and resource is thin...

    can JORBA do this?

    Joe Schaar was kind enough to get some pricing for us back in August and we had too much on our plate due to the bikefest. That said, it might be a good time to circle back to this. I'll talk to one of our wookies. :)

    thanks for the note. yeah... i was actually driving out to monroe county with bob w for an open space meeting to support out vmb bros when frank asked me for a status update on this. basically, joe d probably never expected us to follow through on all this. he expected mtb'ers to go teets up...

    Interesting sign posted in Eagle Rock Reservation.

    Luke, this is another organization you should get involved with: http://www.eaglerockreservation.org/ They are mixed bag of people and not all of them "walk". You'd have some like minded people there with you and you can perhaps start some change within there. Last time I spoke to them...

    South Mountain Reservation

    Luke, now my feelings are hurt. ;) Seriously, did you contact me and I ignored you? Look the problem is not that JORBA is not listening, the issue is that the County is not listening to the South Mountain Conservancy. When we're involved in touchy situations like this we can't be totally...

    Horn Hill Trail in Harriman

    Like Sterling this year, Harriman may become much more bicycle friendly in the future... stay tuned for that, its a work in progress with NYS, and brother Vitti is working through that process now. But in fact, we're going to need some Park Rep advocates to be identified that can cover these...

    Mount Paul - Jefferson

    I threw a question out to the KSVP sup't about the trail use designations and asked about future plans for the parcel but have not heard back yet. He was on vacation recently so he might still be buried under from that so this reminds me to drop him another line. I think riding is legal but...

    Lumpy/Bumpy

    good news people. the highlands trail within allamuchy is multi-use. this is because the mountain biking community has a strong relationship with Allamuchy and the superintendent has designated the trail as multi-use. the bad news is that a lot of it is fall line and some of it will not...
