So hey ... Just got back into riding in at the very least 15-20 years, It's killing me but hell, so is being unfit ... Just bought a new mountain bike, No major brand, catalog bought, S'pose if I get into it into more depth I'll maybe fork out some hard cash and upgrade bikes, but it Is yellow and black, which is just plain awesome in Itself!!
I'm not doing much (As in distance) as everywhere I ride is uphill, But, in 3 days I've managed to clock i would say roughly 10-15 miles (Only out maybe 30 minutes a day, and had to take a rest Sunday cause my butt was numb) .. yes i know its not a lot but i am beefy, smoke and haven't had any regular exercise since Tony Blair was in power ;P .. So I'm doing Epic! - Don't knock it!!
I do have some Questions that I'll throw on the beginners board, even though technically I've been riding on and off since i was in my pre-teens ... But There you go, Introduced my achy self to you all .. Oh, Names Carl and I just turned 40 too .. Maybe midlife crisis Ermagherd!
