Meeeeee!
Mountain biking is 110% FTW, for it requires both a high degree of skill and stamina.
And it's outrageously fun 8)
I like to ride somewhere out of town, on nature reserves, etc.
I ride my awesome $800 bike

Where I live we can’t really call it mountain biking being Central Florida, maybe just off-rode would do.
The off-road trail that I had been going to(will start back around the end of Sept.) is called Santos and is maintained by
The Ocala Mountain Bike Association . I mainly stick the yellow and blue trails, the reds are a little much for me, maybe one day.
I also ride one of the rails-to-trails near my house (30 mile round trip if I do the whole trail) I have a second set wheels and street tires for this. This is the trail I get some riding time in on Sat. and/or Sun. mornings
I have an older Trek hard tail (model 920 I think) and this year I bought a Gary Fisher Hi-Fi (base model).

Here's my baby;
I bought it earlier this year, and I've done some 356kms on it. I don't think that's too bad considering I haven't ridden it once during winter.
