...races/triathlon/cyclocross? I don't want to do jumps, ramps or craziness, but longish rides (20+ km) on trails and single-track.

I don't want to spend a lot of $$$.

The big debate is full suspension vs. hard-tail for me.
As to danisaacs point, I'm looking to spent about $1500 CDN ($1250 US). I spent about $1000 CDN fully loaded for my road bike, but it seems the mountain bikes are higher priced for quality (or demand).

danisaacs: Can I really get a good bike in the $500 range without having to go to a department store/bulk sports shop?
