having been dragged out of anonnimity/lurking I thought I would say thank you.

I returned to MTBing last year and was loving it until I fell and broke my clavical and several ribs in May. This forum (the humor, variety and information) has helped keep me sane in a very long recuperation process

Thank you! 🙂

You’re welcome! actually probably nothing to do with me but I’ll take the credit if that’s ok.
I’ve been away from cycling for a few years too (bar the odd little trip)due to laziness and starting a family (mainly laziness). This forum and magazine inspired me to get out again.
