re: Went to Bogue Chitto state park today to ride the bike trails.

Good to know about Ruston trails. I’ve ridden Caney Lake trails a few times and I’ve never seen more ticks and snakes than on that trail. Hitting brush and vines the entire time. Very tight. Not well maintained as of a couple of years ago. Hope it’s changed.

I’d recommend buying a used mainline bike to start and see if you like it.
