Coming from the road ultracyling community, and now a newbie to mountain
biking I have noticed a very startling difference between the two. While
the ultracyling community, is helpful, share information readily on
equipment, techniques, tactics, training, etc, I see none of that in mtb. I
see a group of immature idiots with anger management problems. Where
everyone's equipment (except their's, of course) is POS. While a roadie
finds ways to make his stuff works, a mtb guy tries to find ways to break
it, and then proclaims to the world it's a POS. My recent post, after my
own quick study, that showed the superiority of the 29 design over the
mistake of the 26 inch wheel, was like sticking a broom handle into a
hornets nest. I'm not going to let this discourage me, because I have
already seen some improvement in my road riding, from doing some mtb, as it
has increased some strength in my legs. Don't know why, but it has. I
wanted some variety, from the constant vigilence of watching for cars, to
riding in the boonies. I don't think I'll ever adopt the philosophy of
trying to break my bike to show everyone how big of a POS it was, because in
ultracycling if something breaks, you may end up with a 200 mile walk home
ahead of you. And I just don't like walking. But just give me a chance, to
enjoy what I hope will be enjoyable cycling.



Of course it's culture shock for you; you're used to the soft, smooth legged, feminine world of GRS. And
judging by your whining, you're still GRS.

This group is for men and [real] women who love MTB'ing.
