That's an important difference. The rail-trails by me are smooth, fast and straight. But mountain bike trails? I didn't even know there were any around here until I looked on the 'ol Google this morning (obviously I ride the former rather than the latter...). But judging by the pictures, I don't think my road bike would be appropriate for them. The OP may be somewhere in-between, we don't know.
