Hello all, if you stay awake long enough i'll tell you how i ended up here.
I used to mountain bike many years ago when i was in my early twenties and had a Kona Koa, no suspension but very light, i lived in plymouth at the time and there were loads of beautiful off road trails and of course the moors nearby. I used to ride around 30 miles each trip all off road and usually twice a week. Now fast forward 15 years ( yes i am nearly 40) and i have just got rid of my last mountain bike which barely got used as i hated the full suspension so tomorrow i pick up a new hard tail and am hoping to rekindle my interest and find a few people to ride with. I gave up smoking a year ago and have put on a lot of weight since so could do with some company when riding to spur me on!!!! hope to get out on a ride soon and meet a few people.

Hi ed just seen your other post I'm a SWF boy

Thanks for the welcomes, i am in SWF so danbury woods is my local spot, think i might have to go and explore hadleigh as well. I used to quite enjoy a ride along the river bank and cross country to burnham. quick beer or two ( any more and it was definitely a train ride home lol ) .
Picked the new bike up today, it's a 2012 Jamis Durango race hardtail, rockshox on the front (lockable) although with my 17 odd stone they dont lock very solid. Bought some clothing and realised i have moobs when i put the cycling top on :-(

.
looking forward to getting out on it properly.

Will see if i can make saturday, it's doubtful but i'll try, the rides on week nights sound good though, let me know.

Cool I'm limited at the moment as third little monster is due on 28th March

It looks like i can make it saturday if people are going to danbury, i'll quite happily be the entertainment, you can watch me crash and grimace in pain lol. Apparently i'm very predictable, i said to the mrs " are we doing anything saturday" she replied " no but i'm guessing you're going out on your bike" Result, in my book that is a pass issued !!
