 Post subject: Another Newb! Horndon on the Hill, Essex

Afternoon all,

Just a quick post to say hello, and see if any of you are local to me and up for some riding. Not an unusual story for me I think - used to be heavily into MTBing in my teenage years, big rides every Sunday, lots of training and got to a decent level racing..... Then car, beer, girls, beer, girls, car, etc got in the way. You get the picture!

I own a nice Gary Fisher I picked up s/h a few years ago but its not really seen as much use as it should and I really want to get out riding in groups again before my fitness completely deserts me! (37 now). I've played around Thorndon a couple of times, occasionally some trails around Laindon (nearest place to me) but don't mind lobbing bike in boot for a meetup.

cheers,
Steve

Nothing all that exciting, and the bits that would be fun are walkers only (although we seem to cohabit just fine with courtesy & co-operation). Its just the closest reasonable bit of off road to me.... But definitely looking to get out to better places and bigger groups!

Cool, I'm probably getting out Sunday morning will drop you a PM if so. Not sure I can hack 20m though! ;)

Thought I'd bump this back up just in case anyone else fancies a ride this Sunday, although given my current fitness levels its not going to be anything spectacular! :D
