It takes time and experimenting with equipment to figure out what will allow you to ride comfortably for a long time. Sure you could get a full squish and that would help, but then you'd be slow up the hills and have more chances for equipment to fail. I like the simplicity of rigid single speed, but know that I am limited on how long I can ride. I would like to ride more since it's a great core workout. And I don't get any of that on the road bike. <BR/><BR/>I say, give it a whirl. The atmosphere of mtb is much cooler than road. It's like a big extended family. You got your drunk uncle, CVO, your ever wise elder, Mod, and a host of others that take you in as one of their own.munsonedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00878330049549526023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34092609.post-85388710205854893162007-08-24T18:20:00.000-05:002007-08-24T18:20:00.000-05:0012- or 24-hour MTB is on my list, too.

Don't know when, but sometime. <BR/><BR/>The idea of doing it just to see if I can has taken me to some interesting places, both physically and mentally. That's the only reason I ran a marathon to begin with. The 'why not?' factor tends to attract me to extreme-type events.<BR/><BR/>So, more power to you.bryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11912338270471222275noreply@blogger.com
