New Year’s Day
by Mitchell Sprinsky on Jan.02, 2006, under Uncategorized
We head off of the Jersey Devil trail which is hard and fast as it
normally is after rain. The beauty of Jersey sugar sand. Just the
overgrown branches hitting us get us wet, but the temperature was
hovering in the upper forties and plenty warm for this ride.
We were making great time, almost too fast and so we pulled back a
little to allow everyone to enjoy the greenery. There is something
special about being able to ride in the dead of winter with green trees
surrounding you.
In all the times I have ridden here, I don’t recall any blodd ever
being drawn. Well, the first blood of the pines was drawn.
We road the JD trail and then the Mount Misery trail for a total of 26 miles.
We even ran into a pack of wolves. Not really. There was some type of sled dog competition going on.
It was a great ride that was finished with brunch at Anapay’s. It was
great to have the DTS folks join us. They are such a great organized
club and terrific to learn from as the NJMBA ventures forward.
