Thought i'd say hi and introduce my self
Used to do a lot of xc but had loads of problems with my knee so not been on the bike for about 7 years now. Had reconstruction on it last month after a motocross crash at the begining of the year (op number 4).
It feels so strange getting back on a bike after so long, it's like learning to ride all over again!
Gave the bike a bit of a service and took it out for a quick ride today, learned how unfit i am and how week my knee is, only managed half a mile but it's a start.
Got a Marin eldridge grade (although the frame and wheel's are the only original parts on it), might be a bit old but it's fine to start me off again.
Any way thats me, slow and unfit for now but that'll soon change.
Hope to see some of you lot out on the track soon
