I meant to answer someones question about mountains on long Island before and forgot to. Although there are no mountains to speak of here, there are lots of big hills on the north shore. Lots of trails are even famous world wide such as the green belt trail. I have bumped into mtb riders from all over the globe on that trail. It offers a unique experience with both loose sand and hard packed dirt and a challenge for almost any riding style. I am lucky that I live so close to such a great place to ride. I have ridden many trails all over the place and its as good as any. My local trails however are fun for me also as they are closer and pretty challenging in there own right. I can lose myself for hours in there and not be more than a 15 minute ride from my house at all times. If you would like to see my local trails I have pictures you can look at on my website at http://www.kriskraft.net enjoy
