Welcome--
But what bike?-Then you will get advice from those that ride your type of bike-or have done in the past.
What type of riding do you intend to do?- Saves the downhill offroader giving you advice on the 100 mile trip you are planning (Unless you are a nutter and plan on doing the 100 miles offroad)
And how was your first ride? Got over the butt ache yet? Got the bike dialled in? Did you manage the hills ok?
