I really haven't ridden much off-road since the late '80's. But they recently opened some new singletrack just a 30 minute ride from my house so I put a suspension stem on my old rigid steel MTB and have been hitting the trails nearly every weekend. I also just got back from a trip to MO, OK, and TX where I rode off-road for 3-4 hours every other day or so - single track and old logging roads.
