I can't help but notice that the 3 of you pining away about how much gooder road biking is are all around Edmonton. Geez, don't you guys have any decent mountain bike trails up there? Maybe THAT's the real problem. "Flat" = "might as well be pavement" and "Might as well be pavement" = "Might as well road bike and enjoy some speed with skinny tires."
 I actually don't doubt at all I'd enjoy road biking but the whole "must share a road with cars and trucks" thing is.. well .. I think I've covered this before. The ground hurts when you fall on it but it hurts in predictable ways. The devil you know vs the devil you don't know, sort of thing.Kien and I just whipped out 10km of some wicked singletrack over lunchtime.  I hurt right now ... but it's a good pain!! Offer stands guys ... bring the mountain bikes with you the next time you come on down this way and we'll find some trails to shred up. And if I ever GET a road bike (I am assuming my 1982 Apollo 10 speed, although it LOOKS like a road bike, technically isn't) then maybe I'll try drafting behind one of you folks.

Mountain biking is great, I love it. I grew up in Calgary racing road and mountain (XC) but the real key to being a better mountain biker is to get a road bike...Just ask Ryder Hesjedal  Here's my two favorite rides...
