I do not have any pics with my gunner yet, but here is my ride...
2009 19.5 Trek EX7 (first year of the new geometry). Not a huge amount done to the bike as it is great for what I like which is CC and some decent. Just love a good ride. Have been riding since the 90's. Past bikes were all Cannondale. V700, Raven and such.
My Trek...
- 26er and proud!
- Changed to 18spd with rock ring
- Tossed the juicy 3 brakes (good lord hated them) and installed current model XT. Kept the 185mm rotors from the avid setup
- Forte bar ends, cateye trip comp, pump, taint saver gel seat lol and bottle holder
- Tires are maxxis 2.35 rear and forte 2.3 front
- Suspension is stock recon 351 and fox float RP2
Bike is ridiculously maintained - have had no issues at all other than the juicy brakes sucking eggs.

habanero, is that Canyonlands in Utah, on the 4WD trail heading towards The Maze???
06 Cannondale mtn tandem for me an' the kid. If the truck's mirrors make it, the bike will too.
Also on deck- hubby's Ellsworth Truth.
I have 3 other mtn bikes and a road bike too, but this is what's been getting the most attention since the kid got old enough to hang on and stay on. Hubby's got a road, mtn and modified road into cross bike as well. We met when we raced mtn bikes way back when.

Good eye! It's the Maze district heading away from teapot canyon down towards the Wall, Chimney Rock and Dollhouse in the first and back towards teapot in the second pic. We don't ride there, just hike. The bikes get their turn at various other places on our out that way trips.

A couple months ago a "local" Kentucky 4Runner and mountain biker friend of mine met up and hit a couple of trails (Big Hollow and neighboring Low Hollow).
Here are some pictures of the trucks all loaded up with our mountain bike stuff. I currently have a 26'' Trek 4500 Disc and a 2015 Giant Anthem 650B 120 mm softtail. [MENTION=87942]Scotty_h[/MENTION] rides a full suspension Yeti with much more travel than mine. his truck is on the right in the first pic, and mine is on the left. Mine also doesn't have a bike rack cause I'm cheap and stick it in the back with the seats down
Enjoy:

Just got into mountain Biking recently.
Just got into mountain biking recently and I’ve been trying to load my bike every time I hit the outdoors. I got a sweet deal on this newbie Trek mountain bike. I’ve been loving it so far so, I’ll be upgrading soon to a not-so beginners bike.

Here's a couple of my 2001 4Runner with my 2006 Giant AC with a whole assortment of aftermarket parts tossed on. The bike gets put on the rack any time I go somewhere with potential for riding!
Sweet set up man. Noticed the mass plate. Any insight on where to wheel in the Massachusetts/New England area?
