@@InsarAskaruly have you ridden these spots?

@@petelato I guess most would say it’s the challenge - it takes coordination/balance strength/endurance etc. Going fast is also fun but where I live most all parks are very rocky.

You still have to get around to doing this - the part in video isn't physically hard but you certainly need some balancing skills and feet eye coordination which is not as easy as it used to be for me. The sections before and after this is where the physical climbing come in and will wear many down 🙂

Oh boy, I would have guess you of all people would like the view from the chin guard of my helmet since it showed more of the front wheel.

Yeah, but not enough close to the body view. 😂 It’s a tight Window of compromise. ​@@OffRoadCycling

The one you and I did but coming back we took the High-Road!

Oh ok

@@abelap632 try Strava or ridewithgps

@@rider65 yeah the root on left stuck out far and stopped bike due to hitting it too slow and elbow landed on sharp rock.

I stand on the pedals when I see rough terrain and hold on tight - I have a bad back but the bumps and all the shaking constantly stretches my back to help with the pain. Unless you have nerve pain in your lower back you will not understand how this helps.

If you tell my you took 1st place in that Kings CX race video you recorded in 2023 I will get one for you 😑

@@OffRoadCycling hahaha "I took first place at Kings last year"😬🙃😉

@@kellycroberson below is a good place to start with plenty of parking - how many miles do you want... maps.app.goo.gl/9ijVSaAry2TU8Q5i7

@@OffRoadCycling great! Good to know the jumping off point to build from there. Seems like we might be entering the season of freeze thaw though so I might have to wait. Thank you!

I don't share that but I added the route in the description.

@@johnhollister3 gloves are for cool weather and nothing special - found on Amazon somewhere.

If you are talking about trail riding the full route I did today was 24 miles and 1000 ft of elevation and will take 2:45 to 3 hours at a 9 to 10 mph moderate pace. It's an out and back route - this video just shows half of my return trip, I will be posting the other half tomorrow morning. Here is the route, you can start in Morristown where it starts or where it turns around and heads back the same way in Mendham: ridewithgps.com/routes/48463690

Yes good time to ride there and should be dry.

It’s a low powered pedal assist. - max power is 55nm.

That's a great story and you are a smart man than I resorting to uber. Yes, Alpine has fun downhills but you have to pay the price getting back. Rockleiigh which is the connecting park is even worse with more extreme grades. I had been riding my regular bike here the prior 2 months and it's always a challenge.

The gloves are new and I got them for the knuckle protection, no insulation - today was 45 degrees and that's about all they can handle.

Always glad to hear about others not letting age get in the way of what makes them happy!

Thank you! Gloves were on sale for $15 so took a chance on a light color called Stone and love them. Almost sold out - they fit true to size just tight putting on - have a woman's version too: Men: www.specialized.com/us/en/mens-trail-d3o-gloves/p/199012?color=348718-199012 Women: www.specialized.com/us/en/womens-trail-d3o-gloves/p/199017?color=348641-199017

I added links to the gloves but seems TH-cam does not allow them and took down. These are from the Specialized bike company - Mens Trail D30 Gloves in the Stone color, they also have a version for women. They fit to size but are snug getting on - I really like the color.

Well, I respect your opinion to complain as you should respect the OP's opinion to express his thoughts & feelings on any subject. I mean that's how a true Democratic & Free society operates or should operate. Free Speech requires the utmost tolerance, especially when one disagrees with another's opinion. And especially when some others are offended. And finally, YT is a platform, like any other social media. I think & believe we have a birth right to say and do anything we choose to. That includes accepting any & all consequences that are associated with our choices- both positive & negative.

For me, listening to news about our country while riding my bike adds to the enjoyment. It also allows me to learn about what's going on around here - I've been clueless my entire life so it's all quite interesting.

@rider65 - if I took my garmin GPS off my stem you would see all of the front tire and probably even some with seat all the way down.

@@MegaSanban Mendham Rd right by Sunrise Lake.

​@@OffRoadCyclingthanks and you followed the yellow trail ?

For this video yes, once I got on the yellow trail I took every right turn staying on the yellow until where the video ends. I will have another video shortly starting where this one ended. If you can follow a route on a gps device I will send you a route?

I have camera mounted at very top of chest almost hitting my chin which will show the front tire when seat is up all the way. Most others mount cameras middle of chest never showing front wheel unless they were very tall. If I were to mount on the chin section of a full face helmet you would see even more front tire like some do mount theirs. My fatbike video you just saw has me sitting with seat all the way up entire ride - did not use dropper on that ride - so you saw more front tire due to that. When I watch a video I am looking more ahead and not at front tire which is why I have camera mounted to show that as priority, you know this already but I try to comprise with your and maybe some others who have the same preference 😐

Actually GoPro has the larger 8:7 lens, both DJI and Insta have a 4:3 so provides a higher vertical view than all cameras - I used their Hero 10 then 12 each for 1 year before switching this month. Then if you use their Max Lens 2.0 like I did it gets crazy wide and high which I loved and only thing I miss about that camera.

@@MattCoffy I believe I left you a good pair to buy when you asked on one of my Stephens videos.

Good view & perspective
