Hello from Wem Shropshire

[080270phil]

Hi, I've just joined cyclechat, following reading a few of the threads on there.
I am a road cyclist, who is looking to get into a bit of mountain biking.
However, I don't see myself doing some of the really full on stuff out there, going off bike drop offs etc. However, I could see myself doing long rides, (or even touring), off road over relatively untechnical terrain.
What do people suggest as a suitable bike?

I have been looking at the Thorn Sterling. What do people think?

Hi, and welcome.

I've copied your post into our MTB forum in the hope that a few peeps there can give you some advice.

Cheers,
Shaun

Hi Phil,

I assume from you location that you always ride the Shropshire Highland Challenge then?

Great event, done it the last five years.
