Default beginner mtn bike, what to buy

I bet you guys get a lot of these. I am in nashville and Im looking to
take advantage of these great hills and country side as I previously
lived in the city. I want to get a bike that will serve me well. I
dont really plan to race or anything, just go out on the weekends and
evenings and ride the crap out of my bike. I also dont want a throw
away bike so something quality would be good.
Is the schwinn rocket series a good bike? A lot of the guys here say
schwinn is junk and I should get a rocky mtn. What full suspension
bike do you guys recommend for a beginner?
Thanks

No. Not too many. Seldom more than two a day actually.

Maybe on AM-B, but not RBO-R! It's a downright flurry to get two posts a
WEEK here...

I tried a rocky mtn, specialized (several models) Trek,
and Gary Fisher...

Road a Yetti and bought it on the spot..

Giant builds most of the bikes people will suggest ... so go with them, they
have the best "value" ... fuji makes some good ones ... if money is no
problem, get a Santa Cruz Blur.
