Not so much a country but a rural work-horse. I live 6 miles from a small town, 14 from a medium sized one. It is a 30 mile (oneway) ride to shop in the "big city" (Mankato). That said, I have a variety of bikes but my mainstay is my SUV, a Surly Big Dummy. I have 32's on my NatureBoy and 2.25 on my troll. The canti-studs are coming off the dummy this week, bring on the hookworms (2.5)! Life is an adventure, it is not uncommon to do 100mile days fully loaded.
