Not MTB but was on my road bike... From Ballston to Mt. Vernon and back: https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid...180544,0.41851

Total distance: 71.18 km (44.2 mi)
Moving time: 3:16:40
Average moving speed: 21.71 km/h (13.5 mi/h)
Max speed: 43.20 km/h (26.8 mi/h)

The last 10 miles or so was brutal.

Sure thing, I might want to do more than fill up my hydration pack and turn around at mile 0

I'll be down soon, Bill. Just ordered a hitch and hitch-mount rack. (Curt finally released a hitch for the STi!)

I want a 29'er next, too! There's a sweet Scott at the LBS on Duke St, Alexandria. It must weigh ~15lbs. It's insane...

Edit: Ok, it's 20.93 lbs. But still...
