I'm excited to hear you and your friends want to get into mountain biking. Great! Have a good trip and be safe.
Thanks for your reply, in fact i've seen tires being changed at the shop a couple of times, so think i'll be ok. Also i've seen tutorial vids online
And I'll give it a try myself just to be prepared.
Hopefully the weather cooperates and we do this, it'll be a new experience for me!
