    Welcome to the community fella.

    A bit of advice i always tell new riders in the shop is just to get out on the bike and explore your local area. You'll be surprised what trails/paths you can find by just riding around for a few hours. Riding with a couple of mates is always a bonus too! It's always more fun and it can get a little competitive, which pushes you to become a better rider.

    Hope you enjoy the new bike. Get out and hit some trails!
