Ok here is the scoop: I am heading back to the states for 3 weeks to see some family, friends, and most importantly do some riding around the PNW.
I want to do some xc riding along with the usual dh stuff, but here is the problem: I got my new (to me) dh bike in the states waiting for me which is sweet, but my xc bike is here in NZ. The million dollar question: Am I crazy to even consider traveling (and flying back to NZ) with both bikes?? Or am I crazy for not taking my xc (ish) bike with me?
I just need some input from someone other than my girlfriend: her opinion can not be trusted. The less bikes stuff I pack the more of her crap I get to bring back.

Just be organized and that way you can ride lots of different trails and deal with both. If it were me I would just bring the Enduro because I prefer riding XC trails in new areas to enjoy the area.

The problem is the V10 is already in the states, the enduro is here in NZ...I think I should bring it or I will miss out on lots of stuff that I want to ride.
This may be the most difficult decision I ever face in my life.:cool:

I went to a shop in town and got a box: I am bringing them both. Just too many good xc rides I wanna do, and not on a V10.

Post canyon, black rock, Whistler, Ashland, Oh my! Probably some Seattle area riding too with a few local friends.
