I have a Cannondale SL 29er. I don't get out as much as I like, because my girl can't keep up at all, lol. Not my pic but it looks exactly like this:

I know it's hard to believe but the mountain biking in FL is really good. There's man made mountain biking parks that would blow your mind. Santos trail in Ocala was even in Mountain Bike Action magazine for an article on great rides !

Those are the same trails I ride when I got to Houston with my Cousin and brother

Definitely some nice bikes in this thread. I just recently got into biking, I won't even post a pic of mine, I don't want you guys to laugh too hard. Its an older Pacific mountain bike I'm sure came from a department store. Its full suspension and disc brake but low quality. I've just ridden concrete walking trails with my girl so far but I'm going to check out some singletrack trails around here. If I stick with it I'll spend some coin on a real bike. I have almost nothing in this one.

I've ridden all over the South West, including: Northern & Southern Cali, Washington, Oregon, Montana, Utah, Colorado, Arizona & New Mexico, and more trials than I could possibly remember.


Some of the bikes I've owned over the years:

1) Foes Weasel
2) GT RTS
3) GT LTS
4) Specialized BigHit
5) Santa Cruz Heckler
6) Turner 5-Spot



My current ride (which unfortunately hasn't seen much action in the last few years), Giant Reign:



And a few action shots:
1) '96 Kamikaze 2) '95 Amateur Cup Big Bear 3) '96 NORBA Nationals Big Bear

Nice !! I'd love to ride Mammoth Mtn one day.
My wife still has her Gt RTS3 from 22 years ago!
