Afternoon all.
Kyle that is a nice bike. I like to ride if I get the chance to, but with 3 kids it does not happen much.
Tonight the wife just brought our girl to dance and I have to cook dinner before a baseball game and then a cub scout meeting with my older boy.

Watch those skies tonight folks. They are getting some good ones in MA right now.

Thanks, hope you get a chance to sometime in the near future! Forget what site it is but they have trails listed, reviews, directions, all that good stuff, but connecticut has something along the lines of 120 trails listed on the site, the next state that comes anywhere close, only has about 60-70. Out of everyplace I've lived, worked, or been, CT it seems you can find more trails for your bike, to hike, or offroad on than anywhere else.

My friend had that same bike, sold it a year or so ago. I have a Stumpjumper Elite, though you wouldn't know it by looking at me.

Nice bike. I did, however, get my license to avoid having to ride one of those things any longer.

I used to ride a bike probably 6 or so miles round trip to work on the dairy farm. It worked for the time but it's way more convenient to just take the truck places. And I've probably gotten lazier since then too...

The tires definitely look good Miles!

I have been looking for a mountain bike recently. I am having a hard time parting with the money to get a decent one though. I hate running, but would like to do something to stay in decent shape.
