I am fortunate ot live less than 2 miles from a short but steep climb to the South Downs Way but now prefer to ride on roads. Classic story really. Returned to UK and having retired from team sport was looking for a way to keep fit(ish) and help keep weight increase to a minimum, so bought a hybrid. Enjoyed it.
With hindsight, it's strange the decision to acquire my first 'proper' bike took so long. Last year bought a Trek 1.5 in unmistakeable lime green colour that I've grown to like - something to do with contrasting pink bottle cage? (And pink bar tape to come!).
Enjoyed it so much, 3 months ago purchased an Orbea Onix. Lovely and so, so comfortable.
Which leads to a number of 'n+1' type threads...in the meantime, hi one and all.
