First Experiences of Thetford Red Trail.....with new bike!

paul_or

Well, as a committed roadie, I have always had a love of mountainbiking, the embers of which still glow from the late 80's when I owned a Specialized Stumpjumper Comp (no suspension etc!).

So, my interest has recently been re-ignited by various conversations I have had, and I have now taken the plunge and bought an entry level 2009 bike - a Felt Q520. It's not a massively specced bike, but the frame seems good and the feedback I've heard has been positive. And if I really get back into it, then maybe a 'real' bike will be in the offing!

I have recently christened the new bike with a visit to Thetford forest, and whilst there was no mud due to a dry East Anglian April, fun was to be had in spades.

If you're interested then read and look at the pics here! Hope you enjoy, and let me know how the Black compares as I haven't done that yet.
