Not much of a mountain biker but I do have a real sweet road bike I use when I go for rides with the kids. I'll have to find a picture of it or pull it out and get a picture. For the love of me I can't remember the name of it. My cousin gave it too me. He is a hardcore mountain biker and has sooo many. This was his in city commuter till he moved out to the sticks. Lol

I have used a mountain bike for most of my spring gobbler and a good bit of my deer hunting for about thirty years now. I have had my bikes set up for hauling my gear as well dead turkeys or harvested deer.
I am in my seventies and had worn my last mountain bike out and needed a new bike. After a lot of consideration about what kind of bike to buy I made the decision, a little over a year ago when the national forest and many areas of state forest roads became legal for e-bikes.
Now I used my e-bike for hunting. Just a darn shame I can't turkey or deer hunt on the game lands any more.

MTB racing was one of my passions.
..raced and rode in PA, NY, WV and MD..back in the late 90s to mid 2000s.
Got to meet hundreds of people and raced with some MTB greats...

Started off with a Cannondale. But now am riding a Salsa Mukluk fat bike.

I am by no means an experienced mountain biker and am more of a casual rider. I mostly ride rails to trails systems. On occasion I ride easier single tracks but not often. I have Giant Talon 2 29 inch hard tail.

I'm in the process of setting up a hunting rig. Trek Marlin 5 29er that I bought heavily used a little bit ago. Planning to paint it camo and get put some racks and lights on it. I should have known the price was too good though, til I replace everything that should be replaced I could've just bought a brand new one
I hate to brag, they don't build them like this anymore. I bought this at the PX in Nuremberg, Germany back in 1990 and it's still my main ride....it's a Schwinn Impact, I just pressure washed it this weekend. The tires, saddle and derailer are not original, but it still goes where trails don't. We used to say, "anyone can ride on a trail" back in the day. I need to ride it more.

I'm an avid biker and own a Specialized Crosstrail Elite right now. I sold my Kona Cindercone and do more trails and service roads on my Crosstrail. I did from Pittsburgh to Cumberland Maryland on the Great Allegheny Passage one weekend, about 150 miles. I made it from Pittsburgh to Confluence Pa. on Saturday and camped that night and made it to Cumberland early afternoon on Sunday. Been thinking about going all the way to Washington DC soon. Really scenic ride along the Youghiogheny River. This post is a little picture heavy but I highly recommend doing the GAP trail there is so much to see and places along the trail to stop.

I have a Raleigh M50 that I've been riding since 1995. It's been all around the US, and quite a bit of Germany. I've had it in the Rockies and the Alps. I gave it a full overhaul last year, so it should be good for another 20 years. The newer Diamondback that I have is my backup bike.
Pic of the Raleigh is from a few years ago while riding in the Black Forest near where we lived at the time.
