I've been backpacking for years and MTB riding off and on for a few too. I've always wanted to mix the two and thought I'd give it a try.

So where do I start? I'm riding a specialized or haro hardtail, and assuming I will need to pack most of the weight on the bike and not on my back.

Dumb it down for me, I have no idea what I'm doing.

look around on these boards.  Especially the "Personal Setups" at the top of the page.  That should be a great starting point for you.  These boards are kind of dead lately... icon_scratch

I saw that section after I posted the question. The pics help more that descriptions would anyway.

I see you're in Austin, any good areas or trails in the area to get started?
