I have road bikes but find it hard to find the motivation to get on them during the wetter, colder months. So I'm thinking of purchasing a MTB and doing some off road riding this winter. For some reason being wet and cold on a road doesn't appeal to me but being wet, cold and muddy in a field does, maybe because it's something different!
I live close to the 7stanes network in SW Scotland so plenty choice but I'm 60 so wont be heading to Fort William and World Cup DH rides, X country riding rather than downhill trail blazing. What I want to avoid most is buying a new ride and needing to upgrade it in three months time. My budget is around £1500 and buying the right bike is much more important than bling and brand.
Advice and suggestions very welcome.
