Do have an off-the-rack MTB that I gave to DD when I switched to my road bike. DH has been riding the 9-mile MTB course at Westwood Park near here (considered challenging for this neck of the woods) and is trying to convince me to try it out this week. Personally, I'm not a big fan of trees and rocks that jump into my path and gargantuan hills that suddenly appear out of nowhere -- knowing my luck, I'll end up in the lake. But somethng is better than nothing, right?! And what kind of person would I be if I back down from a challenge, eh?

It's just that I'm soooo in love with my road bike; anything else seems... well... unfaithful!
