I want to get into mountain biking. I've only ridden the Flume trail in California on a rented bike, but I loved it and think it will be a good way to keep me occupied while everyone else is at school or work (I have totally different hours than everyone I know).

That said, I'll probably ride more in Minnesota than anywhere (if terrain makes a huge difference) since that's where I'll be a good chunk out of the year. But what is a good beginner bike for a 5'5, 125 pound girl? Of course I'll check at a local bike shop, but I just want some ideas before I go.
 
Visit the local bike shops and look at the comfort trail or hybrid bicycles. They will fit you to the bike so you don't have to worry about the size. The comfort street / path bikes will have 700c tires and the comfort trail bikes will have 26" tires.
