Let me know if you guys will be in the area again and maybe we can meet up at Mercer for some riding. I also plan on hitting Allaire. Hopefully this weekend I'll have a full susp bike after going to the bike swap this Saturday. If not, I still got my trusty hardtail. Gotta get that thing cleaned up and tuned. Damn rain!!!!!!! :mad:

I'm down in EW about once a month for meetings so next time if the weather is looking good I will.

I really want to go ride Lewis Morris after work today, but man that was a lot of rain last night.

I'm always surprised by how far people will drive to mtn bike, when there is frequently really good places to ride close by.

I wish that was the case for me. There's really nothing closer than Nassahegan which again is 20 minutes away, by car. Seems like there is a lot of areas of land that could be good for MTB nearby, just no trail networks that I know of. I wish I had something that I could ride to from the house.

You should come up north... there is lots of riding up and around Jay and Montgomery worth checking out.

I loved it in your area last year... Trails were a lot of fun... and we avoided the flood going on in Stowe that forced them to close their trails!
