Riding Harris Lake Advanced Trails and never sitting down!!!

Quick story, I haven't ridden off road in over 10 years. I'm back out on the trail on my brand new bike from Motobecane that I purchased from Bikes Direct. After riding the Motobecane 529HT for 5+ weeks I'll share a few thoughts about this bike, what it does well and what can be improved upon. I've been riding in Central NC (the Raleigh Area) on some of the best trails this area has to offer and I've pushed this bike as far as I can. Some things are awesome and some are ok but there are a few compromises.
