Hello from Georgia

[pickwick]

I'm from Georgia, and thanks to BlackKnight for the invite. I like 1911's, BHP's, and Mini 14's...also cycling, grandkids, dogs, fishing, shooting, and hunting coyotes and hogs. I've been practicing Shito ryu karate for 40 years. Good to be here.

Welcome from SD!!


Cycling: what is your ride? I really like to bike too. Alex (Badoscar) too is a mountain biker. There are few others that ride, the good Dr. H and too both ride, I am sure I am missing somebody else yet.

My main ride is a Specialized Rock Hopper Pro 29er SL, but I bought a Specialized Crosstrail Comp to use as a road bike for when I ride just pavement. ( I hate road bikes). I ride the Rockhopper on the road a lot because where I ride up in farm and Nat'l. forest country, I often ride half road and half dirt in one ride. I ride 80-100 miles per week, about 60% road and 40% dirt. No single track anymore, but I used to do some. I'd rather hit the road for a two or three hour ride.

Ok, he's a keeper. He's got good taste in bikes. Specialized Hardrock 29'er here, I prefer a hardtail for single track and moderate trails. I never got used to the rear end compressing on me, through my balance and timing off.

I prefer hard tails. I don't do competition or a lot of single track, but I think where a rear suspension bike would really shine is coming down steep mountain dirt roads like Springer Mountain up in North Ga. We're talking @ nine miles steep down hill mostly with ruts and rocks. When I got through on my hard tail, my prostate was next to my tonsils.
