Look at magazines from the early/mid 80's and you'll see more casual riding, smiles, and MTB's with racks full o' lunch.

If I had single track readily available, I'd do the same thing and call it a micro-tour. For me, its not the surface or terrain. It is (as you say) a riding style.<br /><br />Gary Buckham has an excellent series of YouTube videos called "Pugsley on Patrol" that sometime look like a micro-tour to me...<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZbkb6MHq28Ponderohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16042079750126434523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943563221520693631.post-79316294369675137132012-07-27T15:05:06.269-04:002012-07-27T15:05:06.269-04:00I take a turn into the woods sometimes on my ride ...I take a turn into the woods sometimes on my <a href="http://www.montaguebikes.com" title="Montague Folding Bikes" rel="nofollow">ride home from work</a>.
