finally introducin myself

[dawn72]

I've been lurking on the forum for the past couple of months after falling in love with 2 wheels. I bought a saracen urban myth and am very lucky that I live near some great cycle paths to get out and enjoy it. I live next to loch lomond and just want to get out and explore some more. When I started out in June I didn't do any more than 10 miles at a time but took in a 32 mile ride
yesterday and would have made it longer if only I'd had some more time. I couldn't understand at first why on earth anyone would need . More than one bike but I'm now researching mountain bikes as I'd like to pick one up next week while I'm off on holiday

Welcome dawn

your right you do only need 1 bike... at a time.. best to have a few more in reserve though

Thanks for all the warm welcomes. I'm weighing up the saracen mantra and saracen kili as they are around the right price with decent spec

Welcome!

Welcome Dawn. You live in a beautiful part of the country. Having more than one bike is fine as long as you only ride one at a time . All the best Mike.

I ended up ordering the kili and it should be arriving early this week. . Perfect timing as I'm on holiday until next Tuesday. I will follow your advice though and just ride one at a time! I had a great run from balloch to tarbet in the sunshine yesterday. 34 glorious miles with a wee break for a snack on my own wee beach on the lochside. My idea of heaven
