Bikes: 2011 Rocky Mountain Vertex 29'r, 2007 Trek 1500 -- 2003 Gary Fisher Tassajara -- 2006 Gary Fisher Tassajara Disc (converted to touring bike)

FunkyStickman ... zzOtherlandzz: I top out at about 16.5MPH on the mountain bike with a stiff tailwind. I usually average around 13. I'm jealous! It's all relative

I KNOW how it feels riding a mountain bike on the road. I put around 10k miles on my Tassajara before I got my road bike. I have a picture of 5k on the bike pc someplace and another one of 2.5k (after the batt went dead). I did have semi-slicks on it for most of the 10k though. That made a big difference for sure. What kind of tires are you running on yours? I wonder what kind of tires abracapocus has on her mountain bike??

Headed to town... its starting to rain and storm now.... but i'm taking my bike anyway.... JUST IN CASE!!
