Kids MTB Skills ride, and Clinton Road rides are back!

• Next Saturday, April 25, Kathi Krause of Dirt, Rock and Root Training will be holding a free middle school/high school kids fundamentals ride after the Juniors in the Jungle MS/HS race at Jungle Habitat. Your child does NOT have to have raced to join in! Meet at the race registration area at 11:30 a.m., and Kathi, who is committed to helping MTB'ers of all ages and ability levels gain confidence and skills, will lead them on an approximately 1 hour ride through Jungle Habitat. A great chance for kids to ride with other kids!
• You've been asking - no, begging for them - and they're back! The first Friday Night Clinton Road ride for 2015 will be on Friday, May 1. We are once again so fortunate to be able to park at the United Methodist Church, 65 LaRue Road, Newfoundland, NJ. Please be considerate of our hosts and park closest to the road, and away from the buildings! We'll be wheels down at 6 p.m. This ride is a great way to learn about road riding in a group, pace line basics, and just unwind from a long week! Ladies Wednesday night Clinton Road rides will start on May 6. 

So excited that the weather has finally come to its' senses - let's get out and ride! 

Any questions? info@teamtowncycle.com, of course! 

Juniors in the Jungle - only 1 week away - April 25th!!

:::: in our best Frank Sinatra voice:::: 

Start spreading the word!!! 

Only 1 week to go until TTC's Juniors in the Jungle race on April 25th! It's the first race in a 3 race series (Team Bulldog is May 2, Marty's Reliable Cycle is May 9), and we're pumped to be hosting our 7th annual event! Check the left sidebar for race flyers and details - or at http://www.teamtowncycle.com/races.html. We've got great swag for prizes, and everyone who comes to race goes home with a gift!

Also, for all middle and high school riders - whether you race or not, join Dirt Rock n Root Training's Kathi Krause for a post race ride and training session, leaving the registration area at 11:30 a.m. Kathi works with all ages of athletes to help them gain both skills and confidence - a definite "win" for everyone who joins her!

2015 Opening Day for WMFPT is May 16 - fingers crossed!

Still waiting for the final blessing on the lease, then it will be work time on the West Milford Family Pump Track. If the lease gets approval as expected next week, and Mother Nature cooperates, we're looking at a May 16 open for the pump track. Stay tuned for more details!

Prepping the 2015 Juniors in the Jungle race course!

We're counting the days until the best race of the year! , and it's less than 2 weeks away - the always most excellent Juniors in the Jungle K-12 MTB race! We're doing some course prep work this week, and it'd be awesome to have some helping hands! We'll be there Saturday afternoon April 18 at 2 p.m., cutting back face slappers, moving any rogue logs, etc., as well as on Monday, April 20th at 5 p.m., doing more of the same. And we'll be marking and taping the course on Friday afternoon, April 24 - we'll narrow down the time a little more next week. 

Meet us at the gate, bring your gloves, and we'll bring the tools - and probably snacks too! 

Drop us a line at info@teamtowncycle.com with any questions! 

2 MTB rides in the queue!

Yes, we think it might finally be true!!! Spring is finally here - or at least it's finally trying to be spring! Whatever it is, it's not snowing, so we'll take it. Got a few mountain bike rides for those who are interested. 

1). TTC member Tom Bowmaster is offering up a MTB ride at Lewis Morris on Sunday, April 12 - with homemade pizza afterwards. How do you pass that up? Meet at Tom's house - 55 Fairmount Ave., Morristown, at 2:30, and he'll take you on a nice tour of Lewis Morris, and then back to his place for homemade pizza. Please RSVP to Tom directly , or you can call him at 973-539-0420, to let him know that you are coming, so he can make enough pizza dough for everyone! 

2). Looking for somewhere new to ride? Join us for an after work MTB ride at Mahlon on Wednesday, April 15. Park at the Saffon's Pond lot, and we'll get you acquainted with this North Jersey park. Wheels down at 6 p.m. SHARP - we'll ride for 1.5 hours, (or a few minutes more, if the sun permits) - moderate pace, no drop. 

More rides to come - stay tuned! 

So long Winter! First Trail Maintenance for 2015 at JH on April 11!

Hello Spring! Time for some spring cleaning! Join us for our first trail maintenance of 2015 when we head out to do some work on Saturday, April 11.

For those new to trail maintenance at Jungle Habitat, join us at about 8:45 a.m. at the JH gate. Bring some gloves, appropriate footwear, water, and yes, maybe sunscreen (no leaves on the trees yet mean it's easy to burn on a sunny day!). We'll supply the tools and direction. We'll all roll into the park at 9, and work until noon. 

These are Paydirt eligible hours, so H2H racers - don't get caught scrambling like last year - get those hours in now!! 

As always, let us know if you have any questions - info@teamtowncycle.com .
