hey all - I do mostly road riding, but that's only because 1) right now I have only one bike, and I am not very good at changing out the tires from the "slicks" to the knobbies! and 2) I was training for a 5-day, 370 mile touring ride with my sister (That's completed - had a great time YAY!!)

I'd like to do more mtbing now that my "big road ride of the season" is done...(season? what season? we ride year 'round here!!)

We have this one park that is kind of technical in that all of the turns are VERY close together, and the bar ends on my bike make me a little nervous (I keep picturing them "catching" on the trees I am going by )
