What have i let myself in for!!!!!
I've only gone a bought a Mountain Bike!!!
As an effort to be fitter and having joined a gym not being productive due to proximity and work commitments i thought bugger it i've got to do something...
But i haven't ridden a bike for 20+ years... is this the beginning of my mid life crisis? It's not a Harley but still!!!

Gondola up the hill, and then you just get to do the fun bit ... now, that's my idea of cycling
