Ride4fun, you are so right! I LOVE it! I went out with the group today and we split into two groups. I went with a couple to try some milder trails. She was trying out clipless peddles so we weren't going to do anything crazy. I had an incredibly good time and can't wait to go again. The bike was a dream to ride, especially compared to my 25 yo Hard Rock

We rode about 3 hours and when everyone met back at the parking lot I picked up some helpful info on other places to ride, and met some other people. More than one old timer suggested I try a 20 tooth small ring for lower gearing on hills--the one thing I have trouble with.
