I'll echo that. Re; dirt roads rock
To the OP; kind of like Frazier Asking Niles... What's better Pinot Noir or Cabernet Sauvignon.??

Pros for roads:
No rocks
No tree roots
No mountain lions
No 180 degree turns
You can keep a good cadence going
You can look good in front of lots of people
Concreet strengthens your joints and bones
You can run faster on concreet
Most races are on the roads
You don't have to put up with all the wimps on the trail
No mountain bikers on roads
A nice road exists at the end of your driveway
Running on roads is more environmentally friendly
Roads are clear in the winter
Cons for trail:
Driving to a trail is a waste of gas and bad for the environment
Too many nerds with expensive gear
Twisted ankles
Bug
Deer ticks
Mountain bikers
Horses
Trail runners with huge egos
Got to carry your own water
Doesn't prepare you for road races
More likely to run into ultra marathon run / walkers
Leaves covering rocks and tree roots
Tough to get accurate Garmin readings
End of thread.
roads are asphalt, not concrete
