Any good places to ride in Northern NJ? How far from the TappenZee bridge?

 

Let me know if you find any

 

I ride in Mahwah, N.J., which is about 20 minutes from the TZ bridge. Some of the trails are pretty hairy, not for the weak of heart. The trails go on forever though. We usually ride on saturdays, all day.

 

J,
When you ride in Mahwah, does the man ever bother you? I have seen people ride there but have heard of stories of getting tickets and stuff. Also, what do you do? Do you go under the highway in the drainage tunnel and then shoot up the mountain? Have you ever seen and park rangers where you ride?

The cops don't bother you if you park your truck in the big field next to the ramp that leads to the thruway from rte 17. As long as you dont ride on sharp plazas property or in the mahwah river they wont bust your chops. Sometimes they check your registration and what not. If you try to run from them they will take your bike and give you tickets. We enter the trails just like you said, under the drainage tunnel. The riding there is awesome. you can ride for hours without ever hitting the same trail.

J,
When are you riding next. Maybe we can meet and ride together. Oh, by the way I also have a LAkota Sport as well.
Let me know,

Mike,
Not sure when we are going next. Probably next Saturday April 20. Depends on if I have to work or not. We usually meet up in the big field around 10 or 11 am. Keep in touch and I,ll let you know.

I seem to be missing something. I've been there once and went around the whole place in 15 minutes. Where is the drainage tunnel?

Scarab,
It's hard to describe how to get to the trail. If you want, we are riding next Saturday, about 10 or 11 am. Meet up with us in the big field next to the highway. I'll be in a maroon ranger xlt with a blue kawasaki lakota in the back. You can e-mail me at simnat99@netscape.net for more info.
You won't be disappointed, the trails go on for days. We usually bring a sandwich or something because you wont see your truck for hours after we start riding. Let me know.
