Hello everyone, my name is Derek. I've been riding bikes off and on my whole life but recently have really started to get into mountain biking. I am limited to the back roads and access roads around were I live as the closest trails to me are about 25 minutes either east or west. Really been enjoying it and am looking to upgrade my old bike for something newer, hopefully either a 2012 3500 or 3700 Trek just gotta decide. I am looking forward to browsing the forums and absorbing what information I can from all of you.
