Any riders out here? Post up your routes and what you ride
Been putting 200 miles a weekend on this
Been putting 200 miles a weekend on this
For the road I've got an 04 (I think) Giant TCR Aero, ride it mostly locally maybe 15-20 miles a shot .
For the mountain I've got a 05 Giant Faith 1, it's a downhill/freeride bike only so most of my time is spent up at Diablo freeride park in Vernon NJ (http://www.diablofreeridepark.com/). Was looking forward to trying some other lift assisted mountains this year, but that isn't going to happen.
For dirt jumping and urban war riding I've got a 06 Cannondale Chase.
For "beach cruising" (i.e. hanging up on my living room wall) this is my mid 60's Schwinn Typhoon. Since it's been fully restored I have yet to ride it.
And for drinking at the Englishtown swap meet, a custom made tall bike. Have to give credit to my brother and his friends for making this creation.

haven't ridden in the city yet, was planning on going up to the jumps at Highbridge during the summer some time. I broke my foot bad about a month ago so I'm out probably for the rest of the season (I can't put weight on it for another month and a half). Oh well there is always next year

All the bikes i have are now considered classics, but i've gotten back into riding over the past 3 months and want to upgrade soon (not spending anymore money on my car will help).
I have a Klein Quantum Race road bike that i average about 200 miles a week on. Its slowly increasing as i have been doing longer rides in the mornings before work.
I recently sampled a Colnago CX-1 for a week and will try out a Giant TCR advanced when i get back from vacation.
The Colnago CX-1 is amazing but i'll wait until i can get a used one from the local bike store as its price is rather restrictive for my current cash flow.
I have an old school Specialized FSR dualie XC. I'll eventually upgrade it, but am happy with it for now.
I do alot of rides through bernardsville, Mendham, Peapack-Gladstone, Oldwick, basking ridge (around my house) etc... Its a great place to ride because there aren't too many cars (very scenic) and there are lots of hills and elevation changes. You can do a big amount climbing in a short amount of miles, which i like
My goal for this road season is to complete a century and keep up on a few of the more intense liberty cycle shop rides.
For MTB, i want to complete the 24 hours of Allamuchy this August.
yo bobby, dirty jersey choppers FTW...

Sneak peak. Put the front end back together after cleaning and checking all CF. Rear will get a full disk, tomorrow most likely as the glue is still curing.

Me a rider... haha.
I have a 2006 Orbea Mitis II.
I've only been riding maybe 6 or 7 times so far this year due to work, weekend getaways, and working out at the gym but have been setting aside more time to get some rides in. On a good riding week this year... I maybe do about 70 miles a week, which is about 2 rides during the week at around 20 miles on local roads which really sucks cause of traffic lights and such and average maybe 30 miles on a weekend rides, for now. That number will increase. And even though mileage is low, I do nice leg workouts at the gym, so of course that helps.
Like I said... weekday rides blow cause I really have no choice. I'm stuck to where I live cause going to ride somewhere else is pointless considering the traffic and the time that I get home from work, so that has to do. Weekends, I usually ride with a couple of people (including Soul_Coughing above) and we ride starting in Edgewater going north on 9W (huge number of cyclists there) or down around Bernardsville.
