Newbie in Sussex, just saying hello!

Sussexplodder

Hi, I'm new to the forum and relatively new to off road MTB'ing. I've been off two wheels for about 8 years, but the countryside around my town was crying out for a bike! I spent ages trying to decide what to go for on my budget of £600. Things have progressed quite a bit in the time I've been off two wheels!
After much deliberation, I plumped for a VooDoo Bizango 29er. 20" frame. After the wettest winter possible (a great way to get to know your bike is cleaning all the crap off it after a muddy ride.) it's been a pleasure to finally get to try some dry miles up on the South Downs.

I'll be lurking around while I try to get to grips with the lingo and I'll probably be asking some stupid questions, but please bear with me as I find my way around!

Cheers,

Sussex plodder

Welcome - from one Sussex plodder to another.

Depending on where you're based, you could do worse than meeting up with these guys
