Hey all,

As the title suggests....I'm a noob to all things MTB so thought I would just say hello before I bombard you all with the standard noob questions (i'll try and use the search first - dont worry!)

I used to do a fair bit of biking when I was around 13 (im now 26) but then I became a student and discovered the joys of alcohol so biking and most other sports went out the window. I want to change that now.

I'm going to venture down to Sherwood pines over the weekend and give that a go to get back into the swing of things and take it from there. It wont be long until I post the good old - "Should I buy this bike?" thread. Look forward to it! :D

Anyway, thats me. Take it easy all :)

    Haha, very true. I've been told by the lads at work that it all starts to go wrong when you hit 26, i.e. you get fat. Luckily I havent hit that point yet.

    Cheers for the welcome :)
