Hoosier MTB'ers?

I'm planning on possibly going back to my home state of Indiana and am curious if anyone can tell me
how the biking scene is there? Especially the south central portion. Unfortunately when I lived
there before I wasn't into biking, so I have no idea.....Mike

Oh my God, I never had a reason to dislike you 'til now. Are you a TarHole fan?

So, do you have a Jimmy V shrine in your house as well, or just the Dale Earnhardt?

You need to spend some time to learn to shift properly. XT cassettes are pretty strong unless you
always shift under power -- then no cassette'll last. You'll probably bend the XTR titanium gears
(the biggest 3) if that's the way you shift (if not, sorry about the rant ).
