new to all this and just did cheddar

numbereightyone

hello all.
I am new to mountain biking, left it a bit late at 37 years old but thats life.
I just did cheddar bike fest and am now hooked.
All the riders were really polite when I held them up on the hills !
I really found it enjoyable.

Hi 81, I'll second Scott on that, great forum, good peeps here. Helped me out some anyway.

I'm 29 and just bought me a bike a few weeks back, can't wait until I can use it properly, lol.

Have fun.

Me too... i was riding the 25km route.. im 23 and was the "slow one" haha came 49th in the class though.

its never too late to give it a go. and im really pleased i took part. like you 81, i was really suprised with everyones helpful polite nature. im used to motorcross endureos where the "passing on the right" is replaced with get out the ****** way "BANG" haha.

the problems i have is understanding all the lingo and technical jibe... but its coming to me...

Good luck and happy riding buddy
