.........Well, from between Jedburgh and Hawick in the Scottish Borders actually.
Have been lurking for a while to see how friendly the forum is before jumping in and introducing myself! My name is Martyn, I'm 52 and admit to riding a bike. I have a Genesis Altitude 00 MTB, which I have had for the last 2 1/2 years. I tend to ride locally - plenty of hills with some single track trails nearby.
As the weather has been so lousy I have tended to ride around the local lanes rather than get sunk up to my hubs in thick gloopy mud. I try and get out at least once a week, but should really try and get out more often. I'm usually out for about 15 miles or so, but when the weather improves that usually goes up to about 30 on a good day. I have an ambition to go a cycle touring holiday later this year, but no definite ideas yet, but possible a circular tour around Northumbria may be on the cards.
When I'm not riding, or thinking about riding I'm often dabbling with model railways or helping at the local Village Hall.
That's a little about me, so will get back to enjoying the forum
