Just happened to stumble across this forum after a google search (as you do).
Looks to be very informative and entertaining, especially the ‘War Wounds’ section, I will add some of my own injuries after I discover how to (how to add them, not injure myself). I have managed to catapult myself off the bike on every outing so far!
I only started mountain biking around 6 weeks ago after some friends bought some bikes on the biking to work scheme, I bought a second hand Specialized Hardrock Pro as I was not sure if I was going to enjoy it. However I am now truly addicted! Now added hydraulic brakes which make the world of difference to the speeds that I crash at.
I’ve shit myself on the MBR run in CYB a couple of times, been to Penmachno a couple of times, but my favorite at the moment is the Marin. First time out it took me and my mate near enough 4 hours to complete! I did it last weekend in 2 hours 10 so we are improving.
Having lived in the area all my life I did not realize that all these awesome trails existed, and how lucky we are!
Welcome aboard mate . I'm sure we'll have you going over those handelbars faster than you could ever have imagined Hope to see you out soon on one of the rides ;D
