I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying coming back to mtn biking!!

Like you, the last time that I rode was a couple of years ago... I seem to spend all of my time on a road bike. About 5-6 weeks ago, I got back on the mtn bike and like you, am thoroughly enjoying it!! We have thousands of miles of trails/dirt roads in my area, so I'm having a wonderful time exploring. I'm still working on my skills, and will conitnue to do so throughout the winter.

I'm soo excited, that I began to look for another bike. Although as my friends would say, you already own a fully and a hardtail At any rate, I just purchased a new hardtail (KHS Alite 2000) and a fully will be in my future as well.

Have fun and keep us posted.
