hi all. I decided to part with dear company today. Its sad, but many of us have been there. Good times for the main - lots of wine, beer, and lots of nice food was shared. Yes, its time to say goodbye - to my fat gut :) Got my mountain bike out of the store room for the first time in 4 years :eek: pumped up some flat tyres, lubed where the lube goes, and huffed and puffed. 18 pathetic (mostly flat) miles later Im absolutely shagged! what a fantastic day out though, man Id forgotten how great it is to ride. the inspiration of 'mint sauce' upon me :D , Ive decided to renew my old habbit. Quite why I stopped ? ! ? So! I thought I might start a chat page where people can talk about rides around the areas that they know well. Perhaps we can share the benefits of the trails we like the best, and between us learn a few more? I have some great rides to share in the north east (where I got into mountain biking) - fab rides.... but not so many round here. The towpath of the grand union being a doorstep ride for people in MK and nearby.. Anybody else got great rides to share?
