No I ride a Trek 26" comfort bike re: commuter. It has hybrid tires. The problem here is I am a below Rank Novice - the trails here are all rated "intermediate or expert" for hikers and they are the same trails the MTB ppl are riding so I have not a clue if my hybrid tires would work on them or not. Part of my hestitation is I would be more comfortable if I could ride with someone whos ridden at least a MTB but preferably these trails so they can let me know which are the safest for new riders and how to ride some of the them.

???? might need to call my LBS...don't they make books about this? something like MTB'ng for Dummies?? that would be specific for my area?
