Ordered a mountain bike. Arrives just in time for the weekend!

Went with a Diamondback Overdrive Comp 29er. I chose DB partially because it was my first real mountain bike when I was 14 and I had a blast with it until it was stolen right out of my driveway. Call it a nostalgia purchase.
If anyone knows some great trails around here please post me the deets!

Good luck with it.

Watched a few videos about comite. Looked pretty cool.

Comite park, hooper park, spillway trail in norco, wild azalea trail system at lake Kincaid reservoir, beast trail at west Feliciana sports park, and mount zion in brookhaven.

You're gonna love the 29'er. Rides much easier.
I got the Specialized Rockhopper Comp, also a nostalgia bike for me. Still have my 1989 Rockhopper from Tuffy's.

Comite is a nice little ride. I have a Rockhopper 29er too. It's a sweet ride.

All good ideas. However, make your way to Tammany Trace as well. Completely level and paved, but nice sights this time of year. A good time and you can grab a beer or three and detour out to the lake pontchatrain riverfront in Mandeville.

Does the civil war park in port hudson allow bikes?

Clear Springs (MS) Rec area has some pretty technical trails. I havent been in years but always had a blast there. There is a bike wash at the trailhead.

How does Comite compare to Hooper? Went there a few weeks ago and it was slower and more technical/challenging than what I was looking for. Had to turn around a little ways past the Collarbone down by the creek.

First and foremost, trash the fork and get at a minimum a Reba RL.
Secondly, how much did you pay? If you paid over $700 you overpaid big time.

Whatever fork comes stock would have to be God awful for me to upgrade it right out the box. I looked online and saw that Reba RL fork is $300-$400....just for one bike component. I'm not that into riding to warrant that kind of investment.

Paid $600ish for the bike. Read plenty of positive reviews about the shimano deore components.
