I noted the use of the word 'paved' in reference to the American River bike trail (which I am unfamiliar with but it sounds more like a skinny paved road than backwoods dirt & rocks with you rolling over debris, downed branches and gravel pits).
If this is correct, and you plan on doing the vast majority of your riding ON pavement, you may find swapping knobbies for slicks does improve your ride quality to a significant degree. (read: it's night and fucking day)
Less rolling resistance = faster bike. Slicks or road friendly tread = better handling characteristics because :more contact with road = better grip, especially in the corners.
All the things that make knobbies great when romping in the dirt and rocks make them dogs on smooth pavement. I was very wary of taking any 90 degree turns at any speed above a brisk walk on knobbies - especially in the wet, you tend to pull on the brake when you get nervous and that's a great way to slip and slide out.
I went with Rubena City Hopper myself after I put 100 miles on my stock MTB knobbies that just sucked on pavement. Seemed like a good bang for buck 50 bucks delivered for 2. (via Amazon)
PS - if you get the 'used -good' ones (likely returns), you get 2 for $42.50 shipped free. They have decent flat protection and reflective strips built into the sidewalls, ride great and wear well.

Hope this helps.
I bought one last year and put a lot of tough miles on it before buying a full suspension at the end of the season. It's a good bike, felt a bit long for me at times. I am 5'9" and bout the 17.5" frame. I wonder if I should have tried a size smaller. But it's a very capable bike none-the-less.
Definitely look at getting new pedals. Those pedals are terrible and your feet will slip right off them. There are a lot of options out there, especially if you're looking to stick with flats. These Wellgo's are a popular choice because they seem to work pretty well and aren't super expensive. I've been running these Xpedo Face Off pedals on my bike for the season and have been very happy with them. Combined with a good pair of 5.10's, your feet are glued to the pedals.
I also swapped the tires out. I washed out all the time on the stock tires. They were awful. I ran some Kenda Nevegals for a while, but they're pretty heavy and have a high rolling resistance. I swapped those out for a Maxxis Ignitor in the front and a Maxxis Crossmark in the rear and they've been treating me pretty well. The Ignitor gets a bit sketchy sometimes, so I'm considering going for something a bit beefier in the front, but 99% of the time, it's a good tire.
I ran that bike on some pretty crazy terrain and it held up well. Long steep climbs, loose rocky terrain, some decent drops and it took it all pretty well. Have fun.
You can do poor man's tubeless. It's the way I did it for a year or so.
What you will need:
Scissors
A new tire with thick sidewalls if possible
A 24" tube with a schrader valve (for a 26" bike you would use a 20" tube)
Slime tubeless sealant (I have found this to be better than Stans and it does not dry out as fast)
A beer or two (what ever you like to drink)
Access to an air compressor
*A bucket of soapy water
Muscle the 24" tube around your wheel and get the valve in like it would be on a regular tire. Pump a VERY SMALL AMOUNT of air into it and then cut in the center of the tire all they way around so it spreads pretty evenly across the rim. There will be a TON off excess tire hanging over the rim, we will get there though. mount one side of you tire on the wheel just like you would if you were swapping tires. Make sure none of the cut tube folds back in underneath the tire when you mount it. Now try to muscle on the other side of the tire. It's going to be either super difficult or super easy. My tires took the strength of the God's and two beers to get it on. Again make sure the excess tube is stick out all around both sides of the tire and didnt get flipped inside the tire or anything. Now you should have what looks like a tire mounted on the wheel with a bunch skin hanging out on both sides. Next remove the valve core from the and put what ever the recommended amount of Slime is in the tire. may be best to have the valve at the 8 o'clock position so the slime will run the to bottom of the tire. Put the valve core back in. Once that is done get a rag and wipe the tire sidewalls and the excess rubber from the tube down with soapy water (I used dish soap). This will help create the seal between the tube and the tire. Dont be afraid to get it pretty wet. Then take the wheel and shake it back and forth while rotating to coat the inside of the tire with the slime. Now hook that beast up to a compressor and blast the air into it. There will be some loud snapping sounds and it may take a few times, but it should eventually seal. After you get some air in there shake the tire and rotate again. Maybe top off the air if you havent. You should have cracked open that first beer by now too. Possibly even finished it. Now that the tire is mounted and full of air/sealant crack open beer number two and wait for the tire to dry from the soapy water. After it's dry take the scissors and cut as much of the excess tube that is dangling off as you can. Doesnt need to be perfect, but also do get too close to the rim/tire bead as if could possibly cause the tube to slip into the tire and break your sea. I left about a centimeter of excess tube all the way around just to play it safe. Now you have poor man's tubeless and two less beers! Hooray!
Congrats! Wonderful bike, I have this exact bike. I highly recommend getting these pedals because the stock pedals are hard plastic that are like butter when they get wet. Also if you plan on hitting rock gardens and/dirt jumps, I would highly recommend getting this rear derailleur. I found out the hard way when I hit a jump and my chain slapped, thankfully I did not wipe out. ALSO convert to tubeless! I haven't yet, but I am planning to in the near future.
Most important part, ENJOY THE BIKE AND RIDE RIDE RIDE!!
I'm 6'4", and about 310 lbs and haven't ridden in years, so yeah, I feel ya. I bought this bike back in February, and I love it. I ended up buying a more comfortable saddle (MTB seats apparently aren't made for sitting?) and this stem riser to raise the handlebars to a more comfortable height. I don't really do any trail riding, but it's nice to have a bike that fits, that can stand up to my weight, and can handle curbs, potholes, tourists, and other road hazards. I'm still getting a feel for what this bike can do and how to do it, but so far it's stood up to my fat ass riding it. I'm sure that it's considered an "entry level" MTB, but for folks operating on a budget like us, I think it's a great bike.
Be prepared to spend a few hours putting it together, and probably a trip or two to the store for a 17mm open-end wrench for the pedals (adjustable wrench is too thick) and a 6mm Allen wrench for a bunch of other stuff. Some Presta-to Schrader valve adapters and a tire guage for Presta valves will come in handy too. I'm on long-term business travel in Key West (rough life, I know) and didn't have any metric tools with me, and had never had a bike with Presta valve stems before. My brother had them on a racer, so I knew what they were, but they delayed my first ride by a couple days.
I used to have a good set of SKS shockblade/xtra dry fenders but they got cracked from constant winter use. I'm not sure I'd recommend them for durability but they are super easy to remove and put back on. Similar products are made by blackburn and topeak but I haven't tried them.
Ass Savers makes the fendor bendor which looks promising too.
Absolutely! It's an IXF external bottom bracket / crank set combo, paired with a Snail 30t tooth narrow wide chainring, all available on Amazon. Super affordable. The conversion required a few specialty tools for removing the old hardware (square taper crank puller and internal bottom bracket removal tool) with one hollowtech wrench for installing the new bottom bracket.
There's a few good tutorials out there, just be mindful since you are working on the aluminum frame itself and stripped bottom bracket threads mean you'll need a new frame. I also took a few links out of the chain to help with chain slap and this thing is damn near silent now.
Tires are Bontrager XR4s, but they seem to have been discontinued in 29x2.3. They grip really nice off road but suck on the road due to high rolling resistance. Going to have to try something new once these wear out since anything wider might start scraping the frame.

geax gato 29x2.3" the rolling resistance is a little higher but they do way better offroad. cheapest place i found them http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003RLCC46/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
grips with wrist support
this helps wrist support, but just like brimley is saying, don't lock your arms. keep them loose, and have a firm but not tight grip.
This is what i use on both my Santa Fe and hatchback versa.
It's rock solid.
I'd look into a "seatpost style" rear rack. They're ideally made for full suspensions so it has no wheel size requirement.
