new rider wirral

[zanda]

Hey guys.
Im 28 from the wirral near liverpool. Had my bike for about 3 months now before that not riden since i was 15. I enjoy both off road trails and road riding. I currently ride a fully suspension mountain bike on skinnys (nobbies wen off road) but i am in the market for a road bike as i have found i enjoy it just as much as the trails.

My first ride was a 6.5 mile commute to work which took me 45 minutes. I was incredibly unfit and lazy and over weight. I have now shed 4 stone (not through cycling) but my fitness is now incredible in comparison. I hit the same commute yesterday in 24 minutes. I wish i had continue to ride for the last 13 years but hey am havin a great time and would luv to take part in some events next year.

Any more riders on the wirral????
