Thanks for the info!! I'm not exactly sure what 'the west side' includes.

I don't mind some urban stuff but it is MUCH more important to me to be able to easily road ride and mtb ride than to commute to work. I realize I cannot have it all and if I have to give up one...commuting would be it.

Do you have some info on where you ride on the west side? I don't know anyone that rides down there. Most people that I talk to do not realize that the Monon is not what I am looking for. Sometimes, yes. And where do you mountain bike? I am WAY TOO EXCITED to hear about this!!

Thank you!
