Hiya, there's a few of us mountain bikers here, tho I do think the roadies outnumber us pretty good.

I wishi I knew more about building and wrenching, but in the meantime I am good friends with the wrenches at the LBS.

I mountainbike exclusively, lots and lots of singletrack riding. No racing tho, I just like to get out and ride.

Dang I do need to update my page tho, lots of new trail pics from this summer.

Well- that's good then...
In my youth I dreamed of racing- hey- that was pre mountain bikes!!
but now- I really love to get close to Mother Earth, smell the composting leaves, the wild garlic, the sweet grass...
yep- mountain biking is it for me now...
besides- I've spent time working in Vancouver- a heck of a cyclist town...everybody bikes there.
That's how I got my commutin' bike- it wasn't "cool" enough for a co worker- she GAVE it to me! I rode it all around Vancouver, ( at the time my job was not what it was promised and I had no money for gas!!
and then I dragged it all the way back to Ontario. It's been my mode of transport in Ottawa - I took it with me, parked the van, and cycled everywhere.. and the last time in Vancouver- without the car- I didn't want to take the bus, so I borrowed a friends bike and cycled ...well..everywhere.
and well- now I have the spandex, the shoes, the jacket...
well- hey- I guess I'd even fit in in Vancouver now...
