Post up when you'll be going again, Mark, and I'll join you.
I was thinking maybe this Thursday depending on how I feel tomorrow , or if not then for sure this weekend.

As far as mountain bikes go, I would skip the full suspension bikes unless you're going to use them as intended going downhill. I used to have a Specialized FSR, and it was cool and all, but the thing was a tank, plus you lose some pedaling effeciency when you ride, because it compresses the rear suspension a little each time you pedal. I sold that, and now I have a Specialized Rock Hopper. It's not as cool, but it's fairly lightweight, and I think it's just as comfortable. I've had it for maybe 3 years, and I think I've ridden it about a dozen times.
