Riding at the shore (Island Beach) is awesome. Nice scenic hily
farmland in Hunterdon Cty. Some great organized rides and clubs. NJ is nowhere bear as good to ride in as CA but not too bad. |

Jersey Shore Touring Society is an excellent group as well. I've done
the large yearly rides with CJBC and the Freewheelers and they are great as well. |

Sweet! You guys are really giving me a lot of places to start. At least
when it stops snowing;--) |

I have to say that riding in CA was awesome. I am really looking
forward to seeing what types of terrain there is to ride here. I have already come to the conclusion the hill climbs are not nearly as good(steep) as CA. I am sure I will find my share of hilly rides. Gotta love those thigh burners;-) |

Hey we don't have mud slides. ;-) I spent some time around San Francisco in April (15 years ago) and I couldn't beleive the lack of color. Everything seemed to be a shade of brown. Even in the winter we have more color than SF did. I doubt all of California is like that. It was just a surprise to me. Wouldn't you think the mudslides go a long way toward explaining the general brown color? ;-) Neil San Diego |

There is a club in Monmouth County called the Atlantic Bicycle Club. The are mostly ex-racers and a mixture of fast riders. The have a web page and have several ride each week with there best ride being the large group ride on Sunday Mornings. The meet at various locations through out Monmouth County and the Sunday ride meets at the Allenwood School in Wall. Do a google search for Atlantic Bicycle Club and check them out. I was born and raised at the shore and this is my home town club so I'm a little biased. Jeff |

Gotta love those thigh burners;-) I've not riden in CA on my bike and it's nowhere near the steepness of San Francisco but CJBC has a 'Hillier than Thou' (HtT) in September that used to include Fiddler's elbow. I'm sure it will bring back memories! :-) So you can find it on a map (http://www.njbikemap.com/) , it's along the Delaware Water Gap, on the Belvidere map (lower left part just off the elbow of Harmony Brass Castle). It looks only to be about 680 ft climb but it's a short climb). I think the entire HtT has about 11K of climb over a 100 miles. If you want real hill visit PA. They have some hair raisers (usually with a stop sign at the bottom ;-) -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry http://home.comcast.net/~ncherry/ (Text only) http://hcs.sourceforge.net/ (HCS II) http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog |

You are going to love the diversity of NJ.....not just in people, but in the weather too. Yesterday it was beautiful, today all the roads are closed because of an snow/ice/rain freezing blizzard. WE GOT IT ALL!!!!!!! "TOTO I have a feeling we are not in California" All Good things, Maggie |

What might be a surprise to everyone is just how beautiful NJ is. Lots of films like to show the crowded sections and the nasty area of the Turnpike (a part of Northern NJ). There is a lot more to it than that. Are you talkin' bout the beginning of the famous Jersey Turnpike shown on the Sopranos. That's a great part of Jersey too. I might make fun of Jersey, but I can because it's MY HOME. It's like your kids, you can yell at them, but if anyone else does, you attack like a Mama Bear. I make fun of Jersey all the time, but no one else is going to do it. We have everything. We have country, shore, suburbs, city WE HAVE IT ALL!!!!! Jersey is a joke to some people but only those who live here are allowed to joke about it. ;-) It's a very unique State. We can see the ocean and the pine barrens, cities and suburbs. We have the boardwalk in Atlantic City and protected forests. Any sport is do-able in Jersey. We change with the seasons. JERSEY IS FABULOUS!!!! Not many people in Jersey were transplanted here...we grew out of the Jersey swamplands... ;-) All Good Things, Maggie |
