I've got back into biking massively over the past year , spent so much of my childhood riding so when i finally got back to the bike i realised its something i don't want to give up, i now use it as part of my Weekly training programme and its just so much fun!!

Anyone into Riding in general, Post a pic and give us a run down on the specs.

Heres my Specilized Stumpjumper Expert carbon 6Fattie, This thing is a total weapon !!! Ive covered nearly 1500 miles in 12 months which on the trails is not bad at all!!!! Anthony and i are now riding together too, which is great for both of us.

It's a bit too expensive for the usage it's been getting recently! I used to do 100 miles or more a week but haven't been on it since June.

It's a Bianchi Sempre Pro - carbon frame set with look keo 2 carbon pedals, a 3T carbon seat post, fizik Antares glass fibre saddle, Campagnolo Eurus wheelset and Campag Athena groupset.

It even fits in the boot of the zed with a wheel in the passenger seat!

Not the hills around Crowborough keeping you from riding is it?
 
My new voodoo bizango, getting into the mountain biking as Road cycling in the countryside scares me in a bad way!
80's steel-framed motobecane has been trusty enough for the city / town rides though

Just started doing road again so treated myself to a Trek Emonda SL5. It's a full carbon and weighs 7.5 kilos without the pedals. My second ride today covered 50 odd miles
or so, great feeling to be back out there on a Sunday morning, roll on next week

Big fan of TREK as a brand, really good bikes!

Had an awesome ride today on the trails! so much fun!
 
I first threw a leg over a mountain bike back in 1995. It was a green chromoly Univega Alpina 506 with Manitou 3 Elastomer Forks. I loved it to bits ! Then moved on to a grey Proflex 856 Full Suspension with fluo-yellow Magura HS33 Hydraulic Rim brakes and I loved that even more ! Unfortunately I can't lay my hands on any photos of these two bikes at the moment :( I'll keep looking.

Often in the company of my cousin Matt ('98 Orange O2) I was out 'larging it' in the Lakes, Y.Dales, Peaks, Scotland, N.Wales etc every single weekend without fail. Between '96 and '98 I rode every single mile of permissible bridleway in the Y.Dales, and maybe one or two that weren't entirely permissible also :wink: ....that's why I love the area so much today ! Even went to the French Alps several times. I competed in countless MTB endurance and orienteering events including the Polaris Challenge, YakTraks etc. I rode the Coast to Coast in 4 days and all 95 miles of the West Highland Way in 14 hours ......and No I wasn't married with kids then ! Several other bikes came and went until I bought the best bike I've ever had....a 1998 Klein Attitude Comp, a hand-made aluminium work of art that I equipped with all the best componentry I could afford. So nice and so light. :)

A change of fortunes a few years back meant I sold it on (with those crappy pedals !)...still miss it now ! :(
In 2007 I bought a 'fully loaded' silver Orange Patriot66 (recognise the name ? :wink: ).....love at first site again !
Unfortunately, just as I was getting accustomed to this new bike in 2008 I suffered a burst appendix with complications. This led to me having a 7 hour life saving operation, 2 months in hospital and was off work for more than 6 months in total. I've never been quite the same since. My immune and digestive systems are very poor and as a result life can be very difficult :x . Consequently I still have the Patriot66 now and try to get out on it when I feel well enough. I'll never sell this one ! :D
This is me on my Patriot66 on the 2011 Tour de Ben Nevis, on what became my last 'hoorah' if you like. A favourite photo and memories of a great day and a great past-time that over the years I found all-consuming, deeply rewarding and I loved so much ! :thumbsup:

:thumbsup: Aero definitely helps with extra speed . It's not too bad I was lapping oulton park on it yesterday in nearly 20mph wind anymore with gusts it gets a bit sketchy so I don't then. Mtb is out or Zwift 😊
