If the TM is canceled due to rain, I'll post the cancellation here or you can call 908-285-3800 that morning.

Starting April 9th 2013 @ 6pm sharp (conditions permitting), JORBA will bring back a very fun weekly event...the Allaire Tuesday Beginner Group Ride. Our rides are for the beginner or folk not familiar with Allaire, we all ride in one group, and we are only as fast as the slowest rider so you don't have to worry about being dropped. Speed demons need not apply, and leave the Heart Rate Monitors at home. We also have a great cast of characters that are happy to give you tips on how to avoid some of the bumps and bruises we've all experienced.

We will be doing a cleanup of Storm Sandy damage on Dickerson Mine Rd. portion of preserve.
8:30AM - 12:30
Please RSVP perez@jorba.org if you plan on attending.
Bagels will be provided.
Please bring water and work gloves if you have them.
We will park along Frank St. at the intersection of Dickerson Mine Rd..

Round Valley needs some major post-Sandy TLC, and we just got the OK from the park to go in and take care of biz.

JORBA Trail Maintenance at Round Valley State Park
Sunday 2/24; 9:00am - 1:00pm

* Park inside the 'secret gate' at the end of Round Valley Road in Lebanon The gate will only be unlocked for a short time at 9:00, so arrive on time.

* Please bring any non-powered TM tools that you have available (hand saws, pruning loppers, leaf rakes, mattocks, pulaskis, etc...)

JORBA has been acting as a representative for the Mountain Bike community to the NJDEP Division of Fish and Wildlife for several years. This effort has helped us maintain, and expand access to Wildlife Management Area (WMA) trails. These lands have been preserved primarily to, maintain water quality and provide habitat for wildlife, including endangered species. Unlike state parks, which are developed and funded for recreation, WMA’s are managed with a priority on wildlife.
