Lung fish Mt biker adventure: chimney rock NJ

Well, if you are interested in running with a great bunch of mountain bikers in NJ, a couple groups meet up religiously on Saturday mornings at 10AM @ chimney Rock in the parking off of Neumans Springs lane in Bridgewater. I finally was able to meet up with my friend Ryan P. and half way on the ride I almost passed out. Nine of us in total, if I were in better shape I probably could have hacked their whole ride, the weather was just cold enough that I couldn't get enough air in my lungs, meaning I am freakin out of shape compared to the whale lungs on these guys. I almost passed out and felt a little dizzy. They would stop at the top of every short run, but after being the last guy on about the 5th launch. I had to cut out and finish up loop on my own pace. Which honestly was down hill and included the all the jumps and windiness I enjoy on a small hilly terrain.

I am not a novice rider by any means so my rock, log chops are pretty good since I've been Mt bike riding for 16 years and biking since I can remember. These guys just do it once a week compared to the quartely rides I have been able to fit in and half this ride is windy and uphill. Some of them are so hardcore they do single speed. Freakin nuts. You know you're in trouble when they are dressed up like storm troopers with shin guards and some of them seem to have capped teeth. Anyway, if you're looking to get in shape or test your skills this ride is highly recommended. I am going to try and do it again in a couple weeks. Chimney Rock
