Thanks much,

I live in snow country and can ride all winter long, and if you have a
light, you can ride at night too. Ever go on MB trails at night? It's
nutty fun!

-You can't ride at absolute maximum speed on most public trails.
Hikers/equestrians/cars/rattlesnakes etc suddenly appear around
a blind corner and you can't stop in time - I nearly got flattened over
Christmas break when some yahoo thought he could get away with
pulling a Shaun Palmer imitation on Verdugo Peak.
- Riding when you have a bad case of the flu sucks.
-I'll leave the real-life dual-slalom and trials riding to the experts, thanks.
-It could be fun! Aren't you the least bit curious?
Yes. "Nutty fun" does pretty much sum it up. Bumped into a hungry
dog at midnight last season. Dog? Waitaminute, that's much too
big for a dog.... BEAR!!! Aaaaaaaa! Run away! Run away! =)

My wife and I came within about 15 yards of one in Whistler, BC two
years ago... gets your attention!! And that was during the day! :-)
But in regards to your points, yes, they are quite valid... especially
the flu part. Or 50-below wind chills. Not good.
