Hi, My names Matt I'm 23.
Originally from Lake District but now live in Preston. I needed to get a Summer fix for Winter sports, been out a few times on a mountain bike and it's now all I think about/talk about. Been out a few times with my mates who are pretty good, but I can't ride with them every weekend cos they live in the Lakes. I've almost got my mitts on a Canyon Strive, and I need some pointers so I'm not just "all the gear and no idea." Whilst I'm fairly new, I can cope with the downhills, just a bit of cardio needed for the uphills!
Looking forward to a few rides in the local area and meeting some new people. Next "Newbie Ride" nearby and I'm there!
One final thing, I'm looking into bike insurance and got a quote for £100 for the year. Is that pretty normal? This paycheck is gonna have to go a looong way.
