Hey everyone,
Just a quick intro - I am almost 33, married with 2 young kids. The waistline is slowly but surely getting bigger, So i got myself a cheap MTN bike (RockRider).
My aim was to just get out on the road and build the milage up! However after doing a 30 mile road ride on the mountain bike(i was in pieces), i realised i either needed a road bike, or just keep to tracks with the Mountain bike!
With monies being sparse with having a wife and kids a new bike is a no no - So this is where i am today.... I need to utilise my Mountain bike and get muddy! So my other problem is i need a fairly local riding buddy(s)
One other thing is kit. i am very limited in kit and experience! Only biking gear i have is the more suited to road lycra shorts and rain proof jacket which the Missus got me. Would this be acceptable to wear on Trails etc?
And what spares package would i need?
Anyway thats enough rambling!
Cheers for reading,
Gary
