im new to the forum and mt bike riding all together, so excuse my total lack of knowledge...

my gf and i had been talking about getting bikes to start riding around town and on a couple of the trails around (park bike trails), and she surprised me with a mongoose xr 200 for my bday today...anyway, just thought id see what you guys thought about this bike and if there's anything i should do to it to make sure its ready to ride?

thanks

Matt
