Got the bike. Now I need a bike rack.

[Mr.Moto]

Why didn't I think of that?!?

I don't like pondering too much. Going the hitch route (haven't decided which yet) and bought t a Kuat Transfer 2.

Thanks for all replies. I look forward to meeting you all.

Went from about $200 to $600 in no time. Welcome to the world of mountain biking. Nice choice of bike and rack. As others noted etrailer.com is a good site for hitches and information, especially if you DIY.
