Hi, I have recently taken up cycling again as I live in a lovely part of the world and our country lanes are just begging to be explored. Plus I need to get fit and shift a few extra pounds! I used to have a lovely Giant hybrid bike which sat in my barn for years and I thought I wasn't going to use it, so sold it to a friend for way less than I paid for it (and it was a lovely bike
). Then not long afterwards decided I'd like to cycle again!!
I bought myself a cheap Apollo MTB and was plugging around the lanes on that, but couldn't get myself comfortable or get up to any great speed. It's not a bad bike but after using hubby's old Marin hybrid I realised I wanted a lighter and faster bike, and ended up buying a Marin Kentfield which I love.
My other great loves are horses (I have six), dogs (I have four) not to mention two adorable piggies and fourteen sheep. The pigs are pets but not all the sheep are ...
