Sure, I was spoiled.  Living in the Pacific Northwest gives you access to just about every kind of outdoor activity you can think of, with the possible exception of sunbathing.  When it came to mountain biking, there is no shortage or great riding within very easy reach of almost anywhere you live.  Personally, I lived in Portland and there were some great trails that were easily accessed from within the city (I should say there ARE great trails within the city… it’s just I can’t access them anymore since I now live 2000 miles away!)  However, your options become almost limitless once you get a bike rack for car, truck or SUV and hit the road to find your trails.  From Porland, within an hour you could be riding in the pines of Mt. Hood, cruising along trails in the Columbia River Gorge or riding along the gorgeous Oregon Coast, just to name a few.
