At the risk of sounding contrarian (who, me?), I think that Hawks Nest is completely overrated. Sure its pretty, but its always a shit-show of some sort, the run through is over in 20secs., and I've seen horrendous things happen with some newer riders getting in over their heads. Some of roads through Stokes on the other hand are very nice, and usually empty. I stopped riding Hawks Nest years ago. It used to be good for pictures leaned over and throwing sparks with the knee-pucs, they make ones with titanium bits in the plastic that throw sparks, fuckin annoying trying to pass someone with those on the track, I think most clubs ban them now. I usually go straight to the PA side and ride the empty roads there. Riding for me isn't a social thing, the less traffic the better. Its about getting into your own head, concentrating on the ride, hitting the corners right, and seeing some cool shit along the way.

I don't disagree at all. The overall loop is enjoyable however. Warren and Sussex roads (519 mostly) are great, and then 97 west of Hawks Nest to Barryville is scenic. Then either 191 through the northern Poconos or around Lake Wally to a lunch stop make a nice, big loop with minimal traffic and minimal law enforcement. It's much better during the week. Shiftwork helps in this case.
 
Sold this guy who runs a legit detailing biz and more in North Jersey my folding ebike. Also turos a fleet of cars including 3 Teslas. He let me sit in the front passenger. Seating position is very high like full size SUV. Back seats look high too. Just an observation. You won’t stop seeing these. Damn my wife would probably love this. Perfect ebike fit too.

Saw a silver Fisker Karma on a flatbed with pennsy plates going thru the circle in Flemington. Took a pic but the car is so ugly the camera on my phone broke! ?

I had to look that one up, all I could think of when I saw a picture was "it's got a mustache "!

I think it's dope, but I'm a Lambo fanboy so my opinion probably doesn't count. And there's also the fact that it's just a 200k VW Atlas. But beats the shit out of the me too Range Rover and Cayenne crowd we usually get here in town.
