I would like to get some mountain biking back on a regular basis- more enjoyable than road- will get me fitter but the problem will be that getting fit.

Have the idea of two groups within this. The fit ones can go up the hills as fast as they like and I will be with the slow ones--bound to be other slow ones- to encourage them up. I am good at encouraging but not good at getting to the top of the hill first.

But when they get cocky- I can find a few places in the forest that take skill and knowledge to do properly. May take a few rides to get to that standard but reckon I can still show a few how to climb the roots at Jevington without falling off.

And N+1 will not be coming on the MTB's till the Bianchi breaks. Not much chance of that.
