Hi there,

My name is Kieran,

Ive just booked myself a one way flight to London on the 2nd of may. Im looking at getting into the MTB scene over there and i figured a forum would be a good place to start and meet people with the same interests.

At the moment i ride a hard tail which i have dont a few basic mods to, which keeps me going. when i get to the UK i am going to look into getting a dual susp of some description.

ive probably only been riding my local trails here in Western Australia for a few months now, but ive looked into a few of the trail around the UK and europe for that matter and it looks like there are plenty about.

I guess being as i will know little to no people it would be good to meet some new faces and go out for a bash on your trails.

If anyone is keen and available in may let me know, it would be great to hear from you.

Cheers

Well your in for a shock, we have a thing called M.U.D. here, it kind of gets in the way, not enough to stop but be rather anoying.

What type of riding will you be doing?

Where you going to be based? should be able to point you in the right direction from that.

Oh and Hi!

Hey all.. yeah what is this mud business?? apparently im about to find out this weekend as its storming up like crazy over here, im sure i will learn all about it :)

im aiming for the XC kinda trails atm, im still very amature thats for sure!!! i was going to look into eventually getting myself an all mountain ful sus setup just so i can broaden my horizons.

I dont have a plan as such in relation to where ill be based. im landing in london and from there i have no idea.. haha.

be good to meet up, maybe borrow someones unused hardtail or whatever unti li can get my gear sorted over there

cheers guys!
