Hooked!

[Cathryn]

Last week, we found a MTB in a skip and (with the owner’s permission) brought him home with us! It’s just an Apollo but today I went for my first MTB ride and it was FANTASTIC! I’m hooked!

I can never forget my first ride on a mountain bike, it was in 1987 and the bike was a Raleigh Maverick, white and yellow with red decals. I thought it was fantastic and I was amazed at what it could do, everything my poor old roadsters could never do. The first time I rode it I felt so knackered that I didn't touch it again for a few weeks but gradually I caught the bug and for the next 21 years I was absolutely fanatical about mountain biking.

Prettier and lighter? Doesn't look too bad to me.

Ooops, you are talking about the bike, aren't you?

Awesome! The great thing about the bike you have at the moment is it cost you nothing, is not brand new, and so if it gets some knocks and scrapes (and it will) no harm done.

Btw, keep your eye out for a good deal on used mountain bikes. There are plenty around.

Shred safe!

I’ve been into mountain bikes since the early 1990’s and it’s still my first love. My 15 year old son now joins me which makes it even better.

I promise not to spam every time I ride my MTB but I went out again today and despite endless mud, it was still epic!!
