Hi all

charlessurr

Hi, im new to the site.

Was into biking about 2/3 years ago, but not done much since i went to uni. However, ive just bought a second hand GT agressor XCR 18" frame with hydraulic discs, gel racing seat, DMR v12mags with titanium axles.

Got it for £250 which i dont think is bad, it looks in really good nick. Am i thinking right?

Only thing is now to get on it and get back into it, really looking forward to going in Wharncliffe woods again (really close to where i live) Sheffield.

If you think it was worth the money, then it was worth it. Get out there and enjoy yourself. Welcome, too.

Welcome back to MTB

Bike sounds nice, so get out and ride!

Do you have a friend to share the fun with? Its always good to have a riding buddy to keep you interested.

Hi

Been out today already, think i over did it a bit though, 5miles, half of it uphill

Yes wharncliffe does rule, changed a bit since i last went down some of the trails, mostly the inclusion of some BIG jumps! Well big to me!

No im afraid i dont have a riding buddy, but my girlfriends cousin is that way inclined (biking) so im sure hell come with me sometimes.

Wanting to do a saturday ride somewhere in the peak district, not far from where i live if possible to last around 3/4 hours..............anyone got any links to any routes? Nothing too challenging, but i just want to get out and have a go!

Ha, snooker club, Rayal Oak, Waggon ;-)

Wish I lived in Greno, save the bloody climb up to the crags.

Im not so lucky either, live on whitley lane near whitley hall, 15/20min ride uphill and i mean uphill before i get to the good stuff!

I like wharncliffe but it aint that big, no sooner have you rode through, it ends, do you find that?

Im after some longer rides! :?

Your just a hop accross the fields from me then, I live next to Windmill lane. Yeah, that climb is a bugger!
