I will drive up to an hour to ride. I don't really care if I am going to be out there all day. Now, if I'm going to ride for an hour or so, I go to the closest trails which is a 15 minute drive or a 15 minute train ride followed by a 15 minute bicycle ride.
Sure, it's nice to be able to just hop on the bike and go, but I love to mtn bike and if I have to drive to the trail then so be it.

Bikes: Bike list is not a resume. Nobody cares.
I don't care if gas gets over $6/gal; I would STILL drive 9 hours to ride at Whistler

I live within 2-5 miles of three different trail systems, all of which have singletrack. One is a National Recreation Area with a huge network of trails. So I don't drive to ride very often. I think it will be hard for me to ever live anywhere where I can't ride to at least some decent mountain biking. I would do less if I had to drive an hour to get to trails, and that would make me unhappy. Or at least I would do a lot more road riding (yawn).
