Ride a Cannondale Scalpel 3000 for trails during the XC season. 24 hour team relay events are my favourite. Used to ride Senior Expert (19-29) but university started. While im not on the trails i train on the road (Cannondale R600), go camping, partying, jump off 100ft cliffs. ya know, everyday university student activities. Oh yeah, white water rafting is awesome, for all those who havent gone, do it, 4 ppl is the best, you get tossed like rag dolls off of big yellow boats, safe, not expensive for the weekend. highly recommended.
