Hi Everyone,

Just joined the site and thought I'd introduce myself. I'm fairly new to Mountain Biking and I love it. I've always enjoyed riding but never really committed myself to learning and growing as a rider. About three months ago I decided to use riding as a tool to get back in shape and it has opened a whole new world for me. I recently backed up that commitment by investing a nice chuck of change on a mid-level All-Mountain bike. It's an ‘09 Teocali Super from Mongoose with 145mm of travel in the rear and 140mm in front. My first trip to Ringwood several weeks ago confirmed I still have a ways to go in skill and conditioning. I'm resolved to riding the moderate trails for now so most of my riding has been at Lewis Morris. It was a mud fest yesterday (Sunday). Loved It! I would love some input on which trails would best suit my level of riding. I also have some free time during the week if anyone knows of any local group rides. - Thanks, Manny

Welcome

We do have a Manny here. So you'll need to change your name to something like Logan, we are in short supply of those.
 
Where do you live in North Jersey? I live near Sussex County.

Btw, nice bike with a lot of nice components.

Manny, You ran into us at Lewis Morris and swapped email with Joe. Mandi and I ran into you at the bottom of the hill first before Joe came down.

Glad you made it on the boards!

Just a quick note about riding in "mudfests". The trails are maintained by volunteers through out the state so please consider that when chosing to ride in adverse conditions. Off my soapbox now.😉
