Just thought I'd might as well introduce myself on here. Been lurking in the background for a bit and quite enjoy the site.A wealth of information and a bunch of humorous sarcastic p**s taking buggers as well (my type of people!!)living about 6 miles north of Newcastle it doesn't get much better for scenery when out and about.
Got into cycling about 4 yrs ago with the purchase of a core 20 MTB. Quickly realised I didn't need as extreme a bike and fitted hybrid tyres and lights to it and covered some decent mileage on it before stepping up to an Orbea carpè hybrid. Loved it.still do!! Usually out with SWMBO and regular weekend riding would see 60-80 mile days out.
"she"
then started on about getting road bikes and in November I took prized possession of a van Nicholas chinook with carbon wheels and a complete ultegra groupset. Now I'm seriously in love with this thing. !!!! Only used it 3 times so far,still waiting for the wife's new carbon orbea(not sure of exact model,don't really care!!) to turn up so we can get out and embarrass ourselves on bikes that are way beyond our capabilities (at the minute anyway).
Hope to contribute one way or another on here
