Just wanted to introduce myself. 20 years ago I was a keen mountain biker but haven't done much for 15 years.
Decided I wanted to get fit/lose weight and started going out on my old mtb. Only problem is that I'm in the flattest part of the uk and no real mountain biking potential. So it was all road biking. Well 5 miles on a mountain bike is a bit of a drag and not overly enjoyable.
So last week I got a Specialized Tricross which I'm totally in love with. So far my longest ride has been 10miles at 12mph average. Felt ok after this so am going to try and up the distance. I want to start commuting one day a week as well which will be 15mile round trip.
I appear to have bought some SPDs today so need to learn to use them!
The goal for next year is to do a short tour, maybe the north Norfolk cycleway.
