Evening All.

Like so many I have been bitten by the cycling bug this summer.

I was previously a MTBer and BMX rider who then discovered cars, work and ran out of time buying a house etc- an all to common story I imagine.

This year I decided to get back into it and purchased a cheap Halfords job to get me back on the road- I loved it but being a bit compulsive I decided it needed upgraded so a few weeks ago I took delivery of my new Canyon Ultimate AL 9 with Di2 and have been blown away with its performance difference. I am taking minutes off 10m TT rides without trying.

Long winter in the North East of Scotland now on the Turbo with the original purchase and maybe a few group rides with the local cycling club- Ythan Cycles which I must join.

Exciting times ahead......

    I understand the expense- my Wiggle wish list is sizeable.

    I've from Balmedie, however originally from Ellon and in the process of building a house just North of the village again.

    Know where you are. If it helps I seem to have a permanent chain reaction wish list. Te trick for me is sneaking the purchases into the house. Good luck with the house build, it's nice north of Ellon. If you see a guy looking like death on a white focus feel free to tow me.
