Just wondering if there are any MTB bicyclist out there. I love biking, been doing it for such a long time. It's peaceful and quiet. And it's a good way to get some exercise.

I have a full suspension bike I got at Wally World (Walmart) 2 summers ago. So far I have racked up 886 miles on that bike. Hoping to push it over 900 miles before the snow flies. But have had my fair share of problems too. Say like my rear wheel with it's pressed in bearing race blew out this summer. Took care of the bearings as well. Of course, that isn't something that can easily be replaced. You have to replace either the hub or the entire wheel. Unless you have a truing stand and the knowledge to unbolt/re-bolt all the spokes to replace the hub. I just went and bought a new wheel instead. It was trued up before I walked out the door.

I have some properties I have permission to be on. I have some lengthy trails through the woods. But I also ride on the pavement and dirt roads too. But there you must watch out for teenagers whom like to see how close they can get. And the dogs that run loose all the time that love to chase you down and bite at your ankles or tear you to pieces.

There is a trail not too far away for bicyclist. I have yet to get a day or season pass to use it though. I still need some things before I venture any distance. Need some kind of pack to hold tools, some way of containing a drink (backpack or water bottle) and a pump of some kind. I see Nashbar has a tow-behind trailer.
