Carbon fiber can be tuned for the type of ride you want.

But it's can be $$$$$. One buddy had one of the early Trek carbon Y frame suspension MT bikes. That frame made some weird noises.

We do the Yough River bike trail. Start at the dam and ride to the Point in Pittsburgh. That was 76 miles. The other ride was from Seven Springs to Hidden Valley ski resorts. That was about 30 miles of MT bike trails. Got lost on that ride a few times.

That's a lot of laps. That's also a lot of miles on a mountain bike. We've got some really good mountain bike trails here but I'd have to drive to them, that's why I got into road. We've got some really challenging mountain roads here that I can ride to.

The high school was the place for everyone to walk and ride. It was a social thing.

We have a local park that used to have GNCC bike and quad races. That is some hard trails to ride. 3 laps and you called it a day.
