I haven't messed with the suspension but I do find that the back can be a little bouncy for me after going over a bump.. I'm about 5'11" and 200 lbs. so I don't quite weigh as much as you. I think there may be a stiffer setting or two that I should probably think about trying out.
Otherwise, the other local CB riders and I have done just fine on Mt Hamilton, Alba, Tunitas Creek, Kings Mountain, and the goaty-ish part of Skyline off of Summit/Bear Creek. I assume you know at least some of those if you're from Santa Cruz! Arguably most of those are actually fairly nicely paved, though. I haven't been out toward the Sierras yet.
By the way, welcome to the forum and if you do get a CB, come on out and join us for one of our get-togethers sometime!
