IMHO, riding a MTB on the road is road riding, not MTB riding.

I'm slow enough as it is on the road, when I get on trails, it's like 4 MPH. I can barely stay upright. Plus the local trails are filled with 20-something yahoos. Plus I hate technical riding when it dominates the route.

There is one area called Vietnam owned by NEMBA (New England MB assoc). It's only 2 miles from my house but is all expert/very technical. That's were all the 20-somethings hang out.
