I've got access to a trails type bike or two just about everywhere I lay my head.

Some full suspension, one with no suspension at all other than reduced air pressure. My road bikes got toasted in the storm, I need to toss them. An offroads bike can be rebuilt, it just won't be as fast or light as before, but that's OK.

I love getting up early at my girlfriend's in Central Florida, riding the bike across the parking lot and through a hole in the fence out onto the bike trail, and in maybe 8 miles I am on a whoop-de single track in the middle of no-where where I have to worry about colliding with deer, just hard enough to work the reflexes. There's another place called Little Big Econ that is also 25 minutes drive for when I want to hang it out.

The offroads course we had near New Orleans no doubt got wiped out when the Bonnet Carre spillway was opened; I wished I'd ridden it more before the Mississippi came up.
