Just found this forum and it looks like a friendly place to visit.
I just bought a mountain bike. A GT Avalanche 2.0 disc. I hope it's a good brand, if not REI has a generous return policy. I wanted a Specialized Rockhopper, but sizing was a concern. The GT is 13", I hope it's right, it feels good so I guess that's what counts.
I lived on bicycles when I was a kid. Then had a cruiser type road bike in the mid 90s. Now I'm into hiking and the outdoors, so I need a mountain bike for Forest Service roads and some singletracking. I'm trail ready baby!
Now I need the practice. Ugh! At first I went on an old road-turned-trail. I only made 2.5 miles! I've worked myself up to 5 miles on paved roads. Hills, ok, that's a story for another post.
Anyway, hows all the bicyclists out there doing?
