The site is going to consist of a large scale forum with an extensive content categorization breakdown, along with a marketplace and media platform that will allow members as well as supporters the opportunity to imbed videos that pertain to everything from product information, training, fit optimization, racing coverage etc.. I'm really hoping to target the enthusiast who's has a more elevated sense of cycling, and is looking for a site with both substance and visual appeal over the more pedestrian sites that are out there (i.e. Road Bike Reviews & Cycling Forums). The site is actually set to launch in just a few days or so . I'll post it when it launches .

I just returned from burning-up some dirt… And I didn’t get scraped or bruised-up this time!
OK let’s talk about serious cyclists. I bet half the Road Bikers out there have mountain bikes. Then there is a vast population that rides only mountain bikes. If you don’t mountain bike you are missing-out on life. Mountain biking takes you down adventurous trails and scenic places road bikes only dream about. Mountain biking creates more stories, by far, than road biking. How many road bikers can say they have been chased by a bull, a cow (with a calf) and a boar on the same day? How many fences do road bikers have to climb…? Think of all those other muscles that are being exercised throwing or carrying your bike while climbing a fence! Mountain biking is more technical, has more variety, provides unexpected challenges, and keeps you away from automobile traffic. Granted, you will occasionally get some scrapes, bruises, and broken bike parts, only because you are testing your biking skills to the limit.
JD, if you don’t include a Mountain Biking forum on your web site you will be missing-out on some great stories and photos.
