Hey Kimmy!

Loved your report...especially since I'm going on my 2nd ever "real" trail ride Thursday (rain or shine ). I sold my old hardtail and bought a friend's FSR...so I'm pretty excited to see if full suspension is really "all that".

I did my first ride last summer down at Fairhills in DE. It was challenging, but not too technical....great for a beginner. Thursday, a friend is taking me to Pennypack. I'll let you know how that goes. Ruth, where else do you recommend?

(PS...I'll be getting my road bike back from CA next week..so maybe we can get some "lighter side" rides in after work )
