Did you fell a lot more secure/stable on the mountain bike than you would have on a road bike?
Hey bikerz - how are you feeling now? I hope all the aches and pains etc are getting better.

I did feel more secure on those big knobbly tyres. When I mentioned to the LBS that I would be using my new MTB on the road as well when it rained they said hey you can ride your road bike you just need to be careful on corners etc and when braking but hey Im such a newbie it sounded a bit too scary to me. So unless its dry I will keep using the pumpkin (although its hard work riding it on the road) until the warmer months are here again.
