I usually ride up in Marin (ie. bike paradise[map])  - I've been meaning to check out the south bay for ages. Just haven't.

Yeah, yeah, I know...we gotta find a time when I'm actually in town.

+1 I got to get back on my MTBike

I've been trying some light MTBing on my folder (challenging without knobbies and little wheels and not much clearance).  Russian Ridge was pretty good, but ran into some difficult terrain on the singletrack at Water Dog Park, I think I walked more than I rode.

Because bicycles suck.

bumpity bump bump....

the husband and i are planning to make mutual xmas presents of mtb shoes and clipless pedals.  anybody got brand recommendations?  i have been told we need to be able to adjust the ease of clipping in/out and that we need the kind where the cleat can move around a little in the clip without clipping out.

On my MTB,

I've used SPDs (Shimano Pedaling Dynamics) for years.  Never an issue.

I wear Sidi Dominator shoes.  Comfy and durable.

I use the Sidi Dominator shoe and Crank Brothers Candy Ti pedal.

ok, after reading a bit:
what are the advantages / disadvantages of spd vs egg beater styles?

The eggbeater style will self clean better during very muddy rides. (doesn't matter to most folks) The eggbeater is a 4 sided entry pedal. I prefer the Candy because it gives you alittle bit of a platform.
