NJ Pine Barrens

[flattworks]

Anyone have gpx data for the pinebarrens. Adv. Sport r1200gs trails.

[RJP]

Explored solo a bit w/the Green DRZ. First of three "loops" I made. Other 2 are mostly single track - won't fit the R12GS between the trees!

I'd take my GSA on the first loop certainly, but there are spots of deep sand everywhere which can wake you up and quick, especially w/the heavier bike.

Mapsource Topo has nearly all the 12GS rideable routes shown, so just go w/no plans and navigate!

For others w/barely legal plated (maybe noisy) bikes, low profile is recommended here as it is a multi-use area (horses, hikers, 4x4's) and rangers have a drz400 to patrol.

TIP: I found out if it has paint marks on the tree, get off - it's a hiking trail.

Between Route 70, 72 and 539. All dirt roads are legal to ride on with street legal bikes, unless posted otherwise. You may encounter very deep sand, knobbies recommended but not needed for all roads.

If you want to go on an organized big bike ride in the pines check out:

It's Byrne, not Bryne, like the former NJ Gov. Brendan Byrne.

Hmm, people sure are getting all fired up in here.

At any rate, the Pine Barrens are pretty rad. Do your research first, though. It's easy to get lost in there and a lot of it doesn't have cell coverage.

And watch out for the Pineys!
