For those of you thinking 'I fancy a little mountain bike ride' - don't. It's torture.
Just did 5 miles at an average speed of 9MPH. That was on a road to get to a little trail.
Grrrrrr.

The fact is, we can ride considerably faster than them. I think that wins the argument

Pretty rubbish. It wasn't a purpose-built trail, but it looked good. Went around it for 5 minutes, then was so knackered from actually going there that I had to go again

Surely you should be driving to the trail in your car, then poncing around on your bike for a while before driving home.
Admission: I occasionally ponce around on my mountain bike.0 -
