Hi there ladies and gents, just signed up today but been lurking in the shadows for a while. Biking XC for 8 months now and I'm totally hooked (mainly north Yorkshire moors and Dalby forest which I love).

Just invested in my first full suss after rattling around on a mates old battered up hardtail - it's like I'm floating on air :)

Well here's hoping I can be of some use to the forum

Cheers

    Thanks for the welcome, well I don't think I'll have too many hero stories to post but I reckon they'll be a few laffs to tell along the way! Just treat mself to a Trance X2 2008 and believe me compared to the one I was riding she's a dream. :wink:

    I'm in Leeds dude . Live right next to the Leeds Liverpool canal so i do all my riding round that area. Loads of trails so it's top fun I have only been riding a bit so mainly doing track riding but starting to do some challenging ride over a XC course & really enjoying it.
