When is a Newbie no longer a newbie?

Kelster3000

I think I am a newbie, but when and I no longer a newbie,
I have the following, if that helps

200 xc miles under my belt
SPD's
obsessed by my bikes weight
Already replaced my crankset
broken by bike twice
serveral arguements with the Mrs about going for a ride
hidden and lied about the cost of bike stuff to the Mrs!
get very muddy
I have two pairs of padded shorts
I have a Camel Pack
fallen off and had at least one offical "crash" (according to this site!)
Going on my first MTB XC weekend in Wales
Taken off my reflectors, and bell off the bike
Have had many puntures and now a bike tool box

Does any of the above help whats next? :roll:

I think you just need to learn the name of your hydration pack and you'll be there
