Re: Mountain Bike Recommendation?

different experience than hiking.
Hey Jeff,
If you wouldn't mind give me your reasons for mountain biking. This is not a sarcastic comment or in any way intended to be disrespectful of the sport. I'm just trying to understand. I've really only tried it once and that was in Colorado on a service road that lead to the top of a ski slope. I was going so fast that I couldn't see anything around me except the road in front of me whizzing by. My hands were sore from the constant pressure applied to the brakes. I almost felt out of control. But I could see that if I had the need for speed, this would be the sport. However, that is not even on my radar screen when I'm in the backcountry. Just curious as to your thoughts. Thanks.
