    Come mtb riding with us in Nelson might change your mind. Fcukin' hard work riding up the hills, but lotsa fun on the way down. One must remember though that mtb's don't steer with footpeg pressure and turning the twistgrip, and one must remember this BEFORE the first turn in a tight S-series of single track. DAMHIK.
    Cheers,
