Been watching the forum for a few weeks and finally took the plunge . . . .splashed out on a Scott P3 Sportster after having a trial run on a very old and very heavy MTB . . . . . . . . . .and absolutely loved it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looking forward to some better weather and reducing the cycle times - six miles in 25 mins today.

Anyway, here's to leaving the car at home :D

    A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game

    I think its the opposite, leaving the car behind and taking the bike you get your soul back and once again become a member of the community rather than a motorist who sits anti-socially seperate from it...
