I used to ride road bikes back in the day and I always found them fulfilling they work great for there intended purpose. I tried mountian biking for a while but it always seemed to be a dissappointment for it always seemed to be a compromise. I think mountain bikes do not weigh out in the fun verses risk factor.  I don't see riding something that can potentially disable me that I have to push up a hill or pedal.

Very nice bike... I just picked one up last season.  The hardest part now for me is getting my butt up and going for a ride.  Almost everytime i ride when i hit the 20+ mile or so mark i cant help but think why the heck im doing this?? This thing should have a motor?  What am i smoking?

Hydration is an important part of any fitness regiment.  When riding in hot temps. you can loose, thru sweat, 1 pint per hour.  Gatorade works for some.............but this works for me.........................
