Yeah... nah, I really enjoy mt biking and there are a lot of hills around where I live so I plan on as I get in better shape plotting routes, either home or to work or both that involve a bit of climbing so I can go out and fling myself down hills at incredulous velocities and then ride back up instead of walk and wheeze my way to the top. I might consider both, sprint to work, hill climb on the way home...

Also, I am riding a Mt Bike now until I can get my road bike up and running so I think it would not be the best for sprinting.

On a happy note, I woke up late so I had to drive to work today (don't worry thats not the happy part, I was actually pissed off I slept in) to make it on time so I decided that first thing when I got home I would toss my work clothes far far away, put on my shorts and t-shirt and go for a ride and sure enough, thats what I did. It was a pretty substantial ride, I don't have a bike computer yet (going to buy one as soon as I get done typing) so I don't know the exact distance but I was gone for aprox 45 minutes and I didn't stop or ride all that slowly. It was a fairly level but there were a few hills. I feel great and really want to go back out and ride some more but I have other stuff I need to get done. GRRR!

On a less happy note. I WANT TO GO TO COSTA RICA AND RIDE. I will put it on my list of places to go next year. I plan on riding on at least 2 continents next year, North America hopefully won't be one of them.
