Good evening, there doesn't seem to be much life in the welcome page of the forum so I thought I would introduce myself here.

My name is Simon, I am 25 and have been mountain biking since January last year. I am from the Norfolk area and mainly ride XC around Thetford, Sandringham and Shouldham Warren.

I am currently riding a Carrera Vengance 27.5" MTB (loose term) and despite its low end components it has completed around 850 miles trouble free cycling: 358 on the road and 517 trails. I maintain my bike myself and the only thing i have done to my bike thus far is filling the inner tube with Slime.

Hope to speak to some of you soon.
