I've gone on several mountain bike rides so far this year. Until this season, I've done nothing but mountain bike, but after a long winter of training on my cross bike, I started to really love it and split my time between the two bikes.

But anyway....I'm surprised every spring by what a butt-kicker mountain biking is. I love that feeling after a ride of just being completely wiped out, yet still buzzing with adrenaline.

This season, I'm working up to a six hour endurance race in August. And I'd like to learn how to bomb over large logs and obstacles.

And, I agree, let's keep the posts and threads going!
