Appreciate the thoughtful response. Sanitizing or smoothing out the wilderness for ADA compliance would be out of bounds, I agree there, requiring it in all cases at least. My point would be if an individual is capable of overcoming their disability with their own device to access a trail...

I’d like to start a reasonable discussion about the use of wheelchairs and bicycles on hiking paths/ trails in compliance with the ADA. (Americans with Disabilities Act) A conversation about sharing trails with disabled users, responsible and respectful people. Not a discussion about illegal...

Sent email, added on that this effects my recreation directly. Classic case of ‘manipulate the data to get your desired results’. It won’t stop with motorized vehicles. I’ve already seen a paid proponent of this map using the term mechanized in place of motorized. Mechanized has been used to...

I see them in Wharton too(not when it’s cold though, lol). Was unloading my bike in the Batsto parking lot. Had a guy stop and tell me how upset he was over how the trails are terrible for his e-bike, like he was looking for a refund or something. Told me he didn’t give a f&#$ about the no...

I love this trail and ride it regularly. The cell phone coverage may have improved, I seem to have coverage every time I check.

There’s different classes of e-bikes. Up to 20 mph you don’t need license, registration and tags. They can be restricted locally but generally are treated like regular bicycles by the state. The maintained mtb trails in Wharton don’t allow them for instance. https://njbikeped.org/micromobility/

Fat bikes are what all terrain bicycles should have been long ago. My full suspension regular MTB just sits there while my rigid fat bike gets ridden daily. IMHO, they are that much better especially on sand.

Are you picking one up or already have it? The 90s stuff can be decent and is better than anything at Walmart today. MTB of that era didn't really have the geometry sorted out yet. Today's bikes ride better on the trails, less twitchy with a slacker head tube angle, longer top tube and shorter...

Still playing and digesting what you taught me. Would like to resume lessons when I start earning money again. Stay at home dad has it's pros and cons.

There is not much coasting in the sand. You will slow down real quick but it's not hard to maintain 12+ MPH with this gearing. It's comparable to going 20+MPH on a road bike factoring in the wind vs sand resistance. This set up is actually a dual singlespeed. Takes about 30 seconds to move the...

They are just the ticket for sand and snow. The real deep stuff is still a little work but when the tire pressure is right you roll right over it. The traction is fantastic and the heavier wheels spin up a little slower but the momentum makes up for it. They are set up tubeless with sealant so...

I've ridden it and it's a good fun trail. If 20 miles is too much, start at Batsto and use the blue trail to shorten it up to less than 10. Either ride is better than not riding in my book.

I believe the area closest to Jackson adjacent to the track is for additional parking based on second hand knowledge. The land cleared for blueberries that was mentioned at the meeting the other night is news to me. Not sure how much unburned fuel is going to wind up in the fruit or land. High...

Nice write up. I ride my bike throughout that area frequently. That long bridge better be hit straight or... There is a '68 Camaro not too far from that short steep incline. Easy to spot when the leaves are gone.

I registered by email a couple weeks ago, called today to double check and my name was not on the friendly girl's spreadsheet so she added it. Print your sent email and bring it with you just in case. Many others reported the same thing when they called to confirm.

I am of the same opinion. I read Al's opinion piece and it's really getting tiring to keep hearing that opposition is coming from those who engage in the destruction. We all know there are problems and problem areas but the draft solution doesn't address that and the park police don't have...

I went outside right away. Kinda kicking myself for not speaking up but I was having trouble putting my thoughts in order.

Made it to the meeting last night. It was the first one I had a chance to attend. It was the last town hall meeting. They announced four stakeholder public meetings that you have to register for? Plus another public meeting to be held at Hammonton High School. I was not surprised to see the...

Funny, I'm sure I picked it up from my mom also. Looked it up and it's WWI army slang.

Mine is a nod to my dad. He ran a rooming house just about until his last day. He had lots of time to collect stuff. Lots of it. Attics, crawl spaces, umpteen garages, basements all full of stuff. Lots and lots of stuff. He had at least one of everything.
