Work brings me back to NJ every now and then.  For that reason, I’ve kept a POS singlespeed at my parent’s house for years.  Sometimes I get a ride in and sometimes I don’t.  Luck would have it that I was in NJ for a warm March day.  With temps approaching 74F, Colorado trails in muck mode, and some extra hours in the office, I was able to leave a bit early and hit Mercer County Park for a few hours of flat twisty singletrack.  It’s been almost eight years since I was last here.  I still remembered my way around the maze.

Please excuse the iPhone pics.  That’s usually not my camera of choice.

I made it a point to ride every log-over.  It seems to be a general rule of thumb in Colorado, to remove obstructions from a trail.

Just as I remembered.

She’s a pretty crappy bike.  A lot of noises, weird fork response, and stupid wide bars but, the gearing is just right.  I probably covered twice as much mileage in half the time of a ride in Colorado.

Self time on an iPhone.  I think finding a way to prop it up is the hardest part.

Great change of pace!
