Tried mountain biking for the first time

<< < (2/5) > >>

Bush Tucker Man:
Wait until they con you into entering your first race :lol:

I thought I was fit, with all the miles I did at that time, until I raced :shock:
(Post Hill at Leeds)
I did finish though, and over half-way up the field.

Best result was at a race at Lightw@ter Valley (Ripon), over probably 18-20miles?? (BIG laps)
I think I was something like 12th out of over 190 starters.
Sadly about 6minutes behind the winner (had cramp & had to stop for a few minutes), but over 2hours ahead of the back-markers.

Of course I was a lot younger then :lol:

Very good idea that.

Sherwood Pines is awsome! Its a little while since I've been there but theres loads to keep you amused for a fair old while, some of the harder stuff is a bit of a killer but what the hell, I gave it a go anywho!!!

Littledan:
woburn trails are gr8 they have everything there u can jump, downhill and even cross-country :D

Henry Webster:
I could very easily get into mountain biking, only you (I) could easily spend alot of money that way.

Fortunately I don't have a lot of money to spend - unless I give up the racing!  And I'm not about to do that!
