Any girls here that have experience with a compact double?

Muddy terrain does tend to tear up the trails, so I tend to avoid riding on them.

I don't have a cyclocross bike - I've got 2 road bikes, a mountain bike, and a surly that I put fat tires on for when I want something rigid to use on trails.

Maybe see if you can find a cyclocross bike with better gearing for you then. Good luck!

Not necessarily mud, but just taking trails that are not pavement. Just dont want to be limited to just the road. But thanks for your info. Tomorrow I will discuss it in the bike store, they are really great, and then go from there. See what they say. For sure I bring home a Giant Avail 2 or a Giant TCX....
