The trails here can be as mellow as you like or rocky and challenging - you choose your speed and risk level. I'm still heavily drawn to the roadie life but as long as I'm here in Central OR, I wouldn't be surprised if I stay N=1 for the road and split my pedaling at least 50/50 between tarmac and trails - if not more heavily weighted to the dirty side.. And so the sell-off of my spares continues.

Im with ya. When its deep winter here and 25F, theres no way im getting on a road bike. Mountain bike is amazing in the winter as long as the trails are clear enough for you.
