If that's your budget for a bike, ride the hell out of it and upgrade it as you go.

It really depends on the build, but that one looks a little heavy (everything is relative though). Some internet searching should give you a rough idea.

this will be my first real mountain bike

dont compete or anything crazy, just want something solid for around town and up in the hills or where every every now and then

yosemite or beach fartin around, if you know what i mean

Then get the bike, it looks like a solid bike for the money and you really can't go wrong with a C-dale. I said "relatively" but I'm saying that from a picture.

Go in to your local bike store and ride one first, ask them to weigh it and then to give you ideas of lighter bikes if it's too much for you. That bike is more than light enough for what you want to do. Hell, it's lighter than my bike I'm sure and I ride XC.

Don't listen to Jim, he rides a 37 pound rigid steel hardtail from 1993...

hmmm, according to calculations, it weighs 1.35 stone.

It is an excellent bike to start off with. As stated above you really can't go wrong with cannondale. The frame is solid and if in time you decide to upgrade you have a non-proprietary platform to do so.

Agreed, get the best frame you can afford, the rest is a lot cheaper to upgrade as you ride more...
