Where does your heart lie (what type of riding do you enjoy most)?

I really enjoy off-road riding and being able to go anywhere I want
but realistically most of my riding is on the road. There just aren't
that many trails out here so I kind of have to do some road riding to
get to the trails. I also love doing long road rides. I guess it would
be best to get both a road bike and a mountain bike but I just can't
afford that.

If you're thinking you're going to be spending a lot more time on-road than
off, why not get a "real" road bike, and keep the old mountain bike around
for the off-road trips?

I thought about that except the old mountain bike just isn't fun to
ride. My friend crashed it years ago and the new frame doesn't really
fit some of the old parts, there's things that are kind of loose and
no one can tighten them, etc.
