You should try night-time riding through forest trails. It's a lot of fun.“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!0

embrace the mud!
I'm very much MTB at heart I grew up on the side of hill in the Breacon Beacons before moved to london some 4 years ago the only road riding I did was very short stretches connecting the muddy rocky bits.0 -
what mudguards would you recommend for a hardtail? spent the afternoon in the mud and Mrs GB was less than impressed when I return sporting a fair proportion of the countryside.0

i'd expect to get wet and muddy. this said a crudcatcher at the front saves picking sheep poo out of your teeth so well worth it to be honest.0 -
everyone knows mtbs are cooler. when you're a kid, noone wants to be stuck with just going on the roads. it's all about gettting muddy in the woods while the nerd with racing bikes pootle in circles in their cul-de-sac0

It's the night riding that does it for me. Really good fun. Spent most of the summer on the Tricross, commuting and touring.
Now spending more time on the MTB, and loving the new Kona Kula Deluxe.
Regular Monday night club run up round Mugdock and Carbeth, some great trails and plenty of mud and mayhem for all. 2 Magicshines and one P7 lights up the night.
Great fun."Encyclopaedia is a fetish for very small bicycles"0 -

Dirty boy !
MTBs rock. I like to be able to choose MTB or road depending on weather and inclination.
As for mudguards, I run Crud Catchers front and rear on the MTB, while I like playing in the mud I don't particularly like being covered in it (or getting hosed down in the front garden before I'm allowed back in the house...)Misguided Idealist0 -

Hmm - in that case I am an ex-perve freakish snob, with designs on becoming a pervert again (I miss those days). I also have something in the shed which could turn me back into a beginner.
Reminds me of the Bike Snob definitions - roadies are the junkies of the cycling world, skinny and untrustworthy (due to their energy conserving drafting manoeuvres).0 -
