hio!

here's my story ><

Just bought a Gary Fisher hardtail (Wahoo) about a month ago from High Gear Cyclery in Milburn (live in Elizabeth btw), and found this site last week while looking for info on local trails.

I thought I was an intermediate rider because I've ridden chimney rock, and cheesequake before. But, in an effort to more accurately gauge my skill I tested my chops on a beginner trail, 6 mile run. The results were quite humbling lol, turns out I'm more of a beginner than I thought!

and I had no idea there was such an active mtb community around! I'm looking forward to meeting fellow trail blazers!

I should be easy to spot, my ride is bright green, I usually have looong bright blue socks on, and you may find me walking a climb or two ><
 
Hey Dave, Welcome to the site. Lots of good info and cool people on here. Congrats on the new bike. Once you get acclimated to 6MR and want to take it even higher come up north and check out Ramapo, Ringwood, and Wawayanda. It will be like starting over again.

Check out the Trail Directory
 
Hey
welcome , I just started mountainbiking 2 months ago
I ride nearly everyday if you want company. Im heading to Colorado in 10 days to mtb for a month.
 
What was it that you found difficult at 6M??

We already have a Dave with a pathfinder btw.. He goes by madness.
 
Welcome aboard.
keep at the riding the more you ride the better you will 🙂 get,6 mile is a blast the trail work there is awesome.
there are some beginner rides listed in the rides section of the site check it out for fun social paced rides.
these are a great way to find tour way around some of the parks and meet some good people.

thanks for the warm welcome!

jdog, what i found difficult on 6mile was mostly that it was above my fitness level :drooling:, and while i survived riding the terrain i really need to work on tecnique to ride a little (lot) less sloppy

and small world lol, another pathfinder, dave, and elizabethan!

i've been really itching to ride lately but it keeps raining whenever i have time!

the sat bbq sounds awesome! not sure if i can make it yet though, but if i can the blue socks will be there! i'm probably going to make the beginner group ride at jungle this sunday too!

and shaggz i'm not far off TPike exit 13.

:getsome: Hell Yeah :getsome:
I grew up in Carteret and BnE (Burger Express) was a staple of everyone in town's diet... (and yeah Pearl I used to eat that greasy deliciousness with regularity... I wasn't always the food Nazi I am now 😉)... the chicken sandwich was ridiculous... I mean ridiculous beyond words (as if crack was the secret ingredient)... the last month before they closed (it was widely publicized) you had 2 hour waits to get into the place or the drive thru (and it's fast food!!!)... I remember talking to some a couple from Hoboken (everybody was out of their cars in the lot like when we were younger - good times)... but I digress...

Anyway I have good news for you my friend... they re-opened it Feb of 2009 in a new location at the intersection of Washington Ave and Roosevelt Ave... same management... same menu... same recipe's... they actually just opened up the bar upstairs called "the station" haven't been in there though so I can't offer any insight... and the food... STILL BANGIN'... I remember that nervous excitement of pulling up to the speaker after waiting 45 minutes at the drive thru (mind you this was like 3 months after they re-opened the new location) and I yelled "yeah I need a chicken sammich and some chili cheese fries - extra chili".... I didn't last 3 minutes and the chicken sandwich was gone!!!... my stomach is turning just thinking about it...

either way... welcome to the board and see you (and the blue socks) out there...
