    Not a nice one, but I rode a hardtail up until my last bike. Its one of those things, you don’t know what your missing til you ride a full suspension and see how comfortable it is. On hard descents, you’ll work your legs a lot less with a FS and you’ll have loads more control. Nothing wrong with a hard tail though, I just see them more suited for XC. I’d argue the style of riding on Monte Sano is more “All Mountain” than XC.

    I guess depends on where you ride, same with Monte Sano. Like Upper Jekyll Id consider All Mountain and Lower is a mixture of XC and Free ride where those table tops are. All those definitions are somewhat fluid though. Lol.

    I’m definitely going to give it another go next time. I really want to hit those table tops on lower Jekyll.

    So group ride at Oak Mountain? We’d fit in with the unicyclists if we got a tandem. It might actually be weirder.

    He’s just bothered by it. Keep the joke up. He particularly enjoys images of riding tandem.
