I have two mountain bikes that I use for my rides with my kids. At one point, I had as many as four bikes. I built up the two bikes using parts that I took off other mountain bikes. Except for a brand new Bottecchia, all Campy, road bike that I owned many years ago, all my bikes over the years have been purchased used.Right now, I have a 1x9 drive train hardtail setup built up around a Fetish

After I rode the Fox Hollow trail at Huber Woods Park, I was feeling fine and I had a couple of hours before I had to return home. I decided to check out the trails at Hartshorne Woods Park. I loaded my bike into my car and drove over to Hartshorne Woods, a short distance from Huber Woods, and parked at the Buttermilk Valley Entrance parking lot. There is another entrance further west called

I was at Huber Woods Park in Middletown yesterday to check out some of the trails to see if I can ride there with my 11 and 8 year old sons. It is my first time riding there. I parked at the Environmental Center off Navesink River Road. There is another trail access and parking off Locust Point Road. I rode the Fox Hollow trail which is rated as Easy. It is a multi-use loops trail about a

I have been tuning up my sons’ mountain bikes for the coming winter. We do not ride our bike too much when the weather is cold, but they want to do again, what they did last year: ride down a hill covered with snow.Last year we tried snow-biking on a small slope near the house. They like all that slipping and sliding while riding their bike. I think they saw a YouTube video of these people

It was a beautiful day for a trail, non-technical ride around the Manasquan Reservoir in Howell Township, Monmouth County. My sons and I did the Perimeter Trail which is a multi use (hiking, horseback riding, biking) five miles loop around the reservoir. The trail is generally very wide except for the wooden bridges and a few spots in the woods. The terrain is flat with packed gravel. There are a

My sons and I went hiking at Holmdel Park this past weekend. It was a perfect autumn day for a short hike in the woods. Holmdel Park is where I brought my sons a few years ago for their first real hike in the woods. My older son was 6 years old then and the younger one was four years old.We hiked part of the High Point trail, the Marsh Trail and the Ridge Walk. The total distance was about mile

My brother and I went mountain biking this past Saturday at Lake Minnewaska State Park in the Shawngunks. My two sons didn’t want to get up for the 7:30 AM start so they stayed home for this one. They would have loved the ride. My brother and I certainly did. It was definitely worth the drive.We pulled into the parking lot at around 10:15 AM. The lot was already half full. By the time we finished
