-Any type of terrain to ride on but predominately hilly or mountainous
-Year round riding, winters can be cold at times and summers humid, but with proper dressing and not riding with complainers, 12 months of riding fairly comfortably
-No shoulders on roads
-Drivers about the same as anywhere else, some good, alot are not. Haven't had too much problems with drivers though.
-Dogs that like to chase you, only a couple of them have meant it though
-Decent bike shops
-Large number of cyclists for the population of the area
-Lots of growth, so roads are getting more crowded with drivers in a hurry
-Fantastic mtn biking as long as you like it mostly steep and technical. Miles and miles of trails, plenty of adventure to be had if you are willing
-Overall, alot more positives than negatives
