MTB for weight loss (east coast style)
Do any of you guys ride OFF road to get in shape or loose weight? I'm talking about muddy, woodland trails not wide open dirt roads like you west coast guys have. I ask becasuse at the place where I am, fitnesswise, I can MTB for a while but I have to stop and rest a lot. Lots of effort for in short bursts. Whereas on the road, I just keep peddling. Lower effort for longer periods of time. I LIKE off road riding better I jusr don't know if I'll get in better shape by doing it.
