Do you like mountain biking? What kind of bike do you have? Where do you ride the most? How long have you?

Question

been riding? Any advice for newer riders? Thanks!

Answer 1

Yes, love it! Right now, I have a Gary Fisher Cake 2 Deluxe. Most of the time, I ride trails in the metro Phoenix area, but I get to Flagstaff, Show Low and Sedona now-and-then, too. Been doing it for about 15 years, and I am a former shop mechanic.

I've done some really epic races like 12 hour relays and 60 + mile singeltrack races. Good fun, and a much different flavor than regular races. But races are pretty rare for me; mostly, I just like a good, long ride.

Best advice? Don't look at the obstacle, look at the way around it. Don't lock up your rear brake. When you're climbing, focus on short segments of the trail. If you can't ride a certain part of the trail, get off and walk and give it a try next time. Have fun!

Answer 2

I am addicted to mountain biking! I stsarted riding about a year ago, and have gotten real serious about it in the last 6 months. I ride a Cannondale super V 1000, with too many upgrades to list. My 2 sons have gotten into it so much, that they are competing in races here in the Southeast region. My favorite place to ride is Oak Mountain State park, near Birmingham Alabama.
