Hello people


my name is leon i am 31 very very unfit so i thought i would do something about it and start riding again,
its been about 7 years since some low life person stole my very nice claud butler mtb with loadsa nice bits on it. so just for starters i ordered a cheapy out of the catologue 1, cos i am a father of three and money is tight and 2, i may decide riding is a fad and give up as wimpyness is my middle name these days.


have a gander at my bike, i realise it is a cheapy but so far i have been through a forest on a 9 mile rids down river banks, steps the odd jump and i really like it, could do with a longer seat post though, maybe i should of bought a normal bike rather than a downhill/jump bike as i am 5'10 and 15stone.

Hello Leon, where do you do your riding? Along canal paths, or actually through the forests? Bummer about the Claud Butler MTB :( .

Are you a Wanderers fan?
