A wonderful New Year's to all! We hope your holidays were filled with good friends and good food, family and fun. We have much to catch up on, and we will ... shortly.  In the meantime, if you want to get out and stretch your legs a bit, join us for a night ride on Monday, January 9, for a full moon ride to the Hawk Watch. The ride consists of a bit of paved road (little traffic) to dirt road

Hope everyone is getting a chance to carve out some time for themselves this holiday season. To that end, we've got a few things in the works for you.

Just a reminder to our mountain biking and hiking friends that it is Firearm season this week for both deer and bear in NJ State Parks. All of our area parks have at least portions of them that are open for hunting, so please take extra care, or avoid the areas all together until Sunday. Hunters are not permitted to hunt after dark, so if you're looking for some nature time, break out the

Hopefully everyone enjoyed a nice long weekend with friends and family, and are well on the way to enjoying the holidays in whatever form you celebrate them! We're catching up from a bit of a break ourselves - here's what we've been up to. Thanks to everyone who came out for our annual Thanksgiving morning ride at Waywayanda.

Wow, it's hard to believe it's Thanksgiving week already! And if it is Thanksgiving, then it's time for our annual Thanksgiving morning mountain bike ride at Waywayanda. As usual, this is a highly informal deal. We'll meet at the boat launch parking lot between 8 and 8:30 - as groups are ready to go - they'll go! We know everyone has a tight schedule on Thursday, so you pick your ride length -

Thanks to everyone who came out and raced or cheered at the 3rd annual Cyclocross at The Hidden Valley Club yesterday. We had a wonderful turnout, a great crowd to cheer the racers on, and Mother Nature was very kind to us! Who would have believed that just the week before, there was more than a foot of snow on that course??? David Kahl, Larry Towner, and all of the TTC volunteers did a great

Unfortunately, due to the weather, we're going to cancel tomorrow's ride at 6 Mile - (aside - 3-6" of snow before Halloween - seriously?), but we'll definitely plan another trip there, so stay tuned.  As for a different ride, our own BJ Kisch is planning a bit of an epic road ride on Sunday, October 30.

We're giving you a bit of advanced notice on this one, as it is a bit of a road trip - but totally worth it!  Saturday, October 29, we're headed south with our mountain bikes to Six Mile Reservoir off of Route 27 in Somerset, NJ. A little more than 1 hour south of West Milford, Six Mile is a JORBA maintained area within the Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park, with lots of flowing, fast,

Something awesome happened last month, but between earthquakes, hurricanes, tropical storms, back to school, races, plagues of locusts (ok, no locusts!) - well, we've been busy, is what we are trying to say. But we're very excited to announce that Team Town Cycle has officially become a chapter of Jersey Off Road Bicycle Association (JORBA)!   For those of you who are unfamiliar with JORBA,

OK, so it's actually starting to feel like fall a bit - is that good or bad? We'll let you decide that one ... in the meantime, here are some ride additions for everyone for the next 2 weeks.  Sunday, September 18 - it's the final King of the Mountain Ride for 2011 - and this one will not be for the faint of heart (or legs!). We'll leave the shop at 9 a.m. (don't be late!), ride up Warwick tpk

As many of you know, we are selling our Rumble in the Jungle race t-shirts this year in honor of and in memory of Dana Hannon, FDNY. Dana was the brother/brother-in-law of Team Town Cycle members Kyle and Kevin Bickford, and he was one of 343 firefighters who died saving lives on 9/11/01. Today, there is a wonderful article on northjersey dot com about Dana that everyone should read.

Well, folks, it's time to draw down the curtain of another season of Wednesday and Friday night road rides on Clinton Road. Between the condition of the road, and the rapidly waning daylight, we're going to put this tradition in the books for 2011. Much thanks to everyone who has come out this year and joined us - it was great while it lasted, right? Of course, this doesn't mean we won't be

Unfortunately, Nancy's plans for an awesome Wednesday night Ladies night ride are once again getting rained upon - ugh! So once again we are cancelling our ride for tonight. We hope you are all staying dry and finding some other way to get out there and stretch your legs!

Well, the blasted rain has killed our last scheduled I Dig Tuesday for 2011 - sorry folks! JORBA and Team Town Cycle would like to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who has come out this season and helped out.

Rather than dodge unknown and closed roads, we're going to stick close to home this Sunday. Meet us at the bike shop at 9:30 a.m., and we'll mostly wing it! We've got a good handle on what roads are open in the area, so we'll figure out a route near/around/through GWL, etc. Figure on a moderate pace, 30-40 miles, no longer - we'll stop and re-group periodically. Bring 2 water bottles and some

Face it - you're going to be hot this weekend no matter what. You might as well ride!

Thanks to the monsoon rains we're experiencing, we're obviously canceling tonight's road ride. For those ladies who are interested, Heather will host yoga and pot luck dinner at her place at 6 p.m. Please RSVP directly to Heather if you would like to attend, and let her know what you are bringing! Hope to see you there!

It's another busy week for Team Town Cycle - check out what we have going on! Tuesday, May 10 - don't forget Tuesdays are trail work days at Jungle Habitat! I Dig Tuesdays, sponsored by JORBA, is a great way to spruce up existing trails at the Hab as well as break ground on some new trails. If you are a H2H racer, they are an easy way to get your PayDirt hours close to home! Meet us at the gate
