mountain bikers on the planet?
 

if so, what do you ride, and what kind of riding/where do you ride?

About 14 tears ago, I took up the hobby, got my hands on a nice Park Pre. I've modded it over the years, planning on spending more time on my bike now.

Thing is, I gave up golf to take up mountain biking, and I still hit the same number of trees.

I had a GT Timberline but I sold it and need to get a new one. I normally ride the trails at Shawnee Mission Park.

Road rider myself, but I do have a Stumpjumper for cruising around with the wife and kids.

I ride year round mostly in the Stony Creek Area outside of Harrisburg. Miles and miles of state game land that I've only seen probably 1/2 of after living here for five years. Stony Creek runs through the valley as well which has some decent fly fishing if you have one of those 4 or 5 piece rods you can strap to your back.

My ride is a GT I-Drive. Bought the 3.0 version about 3 years ago and never found anything that climbed or rode quiet as well. The only thing I would recommend is replacing the front shocks with better ones if you're going to be on extreme terrain. I've bottomed stock shocks out a couple times before replacing them with Z1 forks. Your wrists will thank you.

I ride a Trek and I ride over on the trails between Red Bridge and Blue Ridge right behind Holmes.

I have an Avent Jibster, it's an aggressive hardtail. I mainly freeride, do some CC on it and I also race it in Cruiser class occasionally at the BMX track. If we had some slalom and/or any 4x races around here I would be there in a heartbeat!!!

I often put different rims with wider knobby tires on the kids bikes and take them to the trails. I love the looks my 6-yr-old gets from other MTBers when he is flying down the trails!



headsnap, more comfortable on two wheels than two feet...

where's the motor?

You bastards hog the mountain roads too
it must be tempting to run you off the side

A first generation mountain bike. It really is a hybrid with 26 inch wheels. I don't jump and race. Lots of off pavement riding. The thing will go anywhere. I also road bike. It's all about the exercise. I'm getting shit for losing weight. The people I work with have never seen what I weighed 25-30 years ago. I've literally turned back the clock. Excluding the hair. Oh well.

ah, tis the season
 

I mostly ride @ Smithville Lake, Blue River, and Landahl Park. I ride an Iron Horse Azure.
