Hi from The New Forest

[Scoop940]

Hey up,

Just joined up, lucky to live on the edge of the New Forest and ride there often

Got back into bikes about 3 years ago having spent a lot of time on them when younger, started again on a mountain bike I swapped for a baby bath and clothes and did the L2B on it. Not looked back.

Upgraded to a used Rocky Mountain that has seen a lot of miles now, made the mistake of borrowing my BIL's roadie about a year ago while he was on holiday.. a timely bump in a car park got a cash in leiu settlement and I bought my first road bike last November, a Felt Z95. Done just over 3k miles on it since then, and lost nearly 2 stone!

Biggest achievements of the year, 100 mile sportive in 5:35 and made it up Hardknott pass without stopping, 39th on Strava at time of doing, dropped a bit now

Anyway, Hi, I'll post up some pics after once I pass probabtion

I tolerate a 100 mile a day commute to live here, it's worth it. Might have to try a ride to work day next summer, could be fun!
