I started as a mountain biker. I got my road bike about 4 years later. I've never really LOVED road riding like mountain biking. There's one area I occasionally road ride where I can see the mountain biking trails that I often ride. When I’m out there on my road bike, I always look longingly at those trails!

I took a good friend mountain biking a few weeks ago. He's primarily a roadie. He hadn't been on his mountain bike for about 6 months. After riding a couple of perfect single track trails we stopped and talked about how much FUN mountain biking is. The skills required, challenges and mine set are so different than road riding! I love it!

Great single track is worth the effort!! I'm glad you had a great ride!
