I have never mountain biked, but I would like to. I can't seem to get the Husband interested. As tough as he is, he says he doesn't want to get wrapped around a tree, and for the most part we'd have to haul our bikes elsewhere. The cost figures in too, and also that we don't have enough hours in the day to get done what needs to be done and have time for any more fun stuff than we're already doing. I would like to find a way to nudge him in the direction of getting a little more interested in it. There wouldn't be a lot of technical trails, but nice woods and some hills.
