Hi everyone, I'm a complete novice to mountain biking and so out of shape its untrue but I'm 40 next year so need to get off my arse and do something about it so have bought myself a Lapierre Zesty 314 bike and intend to get out and about as much as work/family will allow. Whats the best way to get started? I think I need to get fitter first, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You weren't over Bold Colliery last Monday were you? I saw a fella on a Zesty 314.
Welcome to the club by the way.
As people have said there's local rides to get your fitness up but you won't find too many jumps, drops, etc.
Trail centres such as Llandegla can be worth a trip out as the trails are graded by difficulty and you can just follow the signs so don't have to worry about getting lost. As you get fitter and your skills move on you can move up to the next grade of trail so it's a good way of judging how you're progressing.
