I recently put some slicks on my mountain bike so I can try road riding (reasons: was watching tour de france and got the itch, don't have to worry about wet trails after a rain, can go from my house without loading the bike in the car, etc.). I'm not commuting on the roads, but using the mountain bike the way people use their road bikes. And, I find I'm riding my bike more!
I actually like it. Not as much as singletrack mind you, but I enjoy the continuously fast speeds, good climbs and decents, etc. I ride in the north Brampton Caledon/Inglewood area, really nice for road rides.
Anyone else do this? If yes, any good routes between 10-50 km?
