Hello!
Back to MTB after a while off it, Looking at Strava it would appear I am well off the pace!
I live in North Dorset on the Dorset/Wiltshire border so there are lots of good trails to explore. Lost my leg a couple of years ago so I struggle with some of the tougher stuff but thats just a matter of needing to get my confidence up I reckon. Bought a cheap but shiny Specialized Hard Rock Disc 2012 to get me back into the swing of things. I love that my hobby combines my geeky engineering side with a desire to be less of a fat basket.
A lot of forums I visit tend to prefer the newbies to introduce themselves: I couldn't see a thread specifically for that (maybe didn't look hard enough) so I hope this isn't in the wrong place.
Cheers,
Nobby.

I've been very impressed with Strava. Annoying to see other people are literally 4 times faster than me on certain routes though!0
