Regarding my weekend ride; I've discovered that I much much prefer offroad on a fully rigid set up. Proabably due to having less experience in handling bikes with suspension.
I ride a fully rigid bike on the south downs way, I'm a little slower on the technical descents than my mate on his inbred, but I kick his ass everywhere else. no wasted power into the forks, stiffer, more efficient power transfer, and also am much more enkjoyable feeling of the terrain, I think.
