absolute I replied to your PM.

Flyboy and I ride together and used to ride around here but now we mostly go to PA.

Our favorite spot - Breezewood Proving Grounds. Great place for kids. Long ride from this area but very well worth it for the long weekends.

BTW- nice bounce pegs flyboy. Thanks for the pic

Can you still ride at Saxton Falls? Haven't been there in a few years, but last time we weren't bothered..

I haven't been riding in saxton falls since the mid 90's. Place was great. How long ago were you there? Does anybody still ride there?

This is pretty close to hackettstown.
Here are the GPS coordinates.
40.970732,-74.876859
You park alongside Kerrs Corner Rd.
If you continue up that road on your quad like 80yards there is a little hill leading up to "The Tracks". There is a path alongside old railroad tracks that lead in Pennsylvania over the gap. There are a lot of little side trails and hill climbs along the way. Watch out for branches, logs, and riders coming the other way.

If you go the other way you hit a road in Green Township. Its not very far from where you start off going to PA. You used to be able to cross it and ride for a few more miles but now they put up a fence and its kind of shady to cross there. If you do cross its a lot of whoops and you go through a sweet tunnel that's freezing cold all year round.

How are the low branches in the trail to PA? That's the worst part about riding on the tracks.

Hey man I live right outside of Htown, I've been checking out some spots I used to ride when i was a kid. I haven't been to any of them in a while so i've just been taking my mountain bike around and seeing whats up, and not to many places look promising anymore but there are a couple. PM me about riding on the old tracks up near blairstown, last I heard cops were chasing people off there but I was on RT80 last weekend and saw a few people riding across the viaduct so I dunno about that.
