N7CZinMT, first, i just want to say, welcome to wonderful Ohio in a few weeks. Second, the best group of guys to ride with are the Spokejunkies
www.spokejunkies.com . Their site has many different trail reviews for many Ohio trails, and a forum to discuss all different aspects of mountain biking. They are a little on the kooky side, but aren't we all? I recommend Vultures Knob, crazy place.
As for my commute today, i actually impressed some drivers after the light turned and i was passing them(not a lot of bikers here in Hicksville University). Headwind both ways(how the hell does that happen?) but pretty enjoyable. Not over yet, gotta go out to my last two classes.
