20 years.....bloody newbies.You'll get over it.

What we need is a (I am) like (that) button 😀

Also been night riding tonight and had a great one 😀 on the back of riding with the family yesterday in glorious sunshine.

I love riding bikes me.

My name is Ambrose.

I ride my mountainbike.

I am (not) ashamed.

😉

Glad to hear I'm in good company!!

Have you asked your GP for a cream?

I suffer from the same addiction!I OD'd at Bike Park Wales last year and ended up in A&E. Several months of cold turkey rehab but all I could think about was my next hit.
I'm not ashamed to admit... I'm using again

The past 3 years and the arrival of 2 kids has put a serious cramp on my MTB ambitions and the past year or so I've largely been riding road mostly for convenience.

Anyway, in an attempt to get me motivated late last year I sank some cash on a new full-suss, took her out and had a proper "Oh yeah, I remember now, this is properly ace!" road to Damascus moment.

Getting out very chance I get at the moment, looking forward to regular post-work rides now things are drying out. Back with a vengeance.

My name is Adam,
I haven't ridden a bike in anger this year!!
I am ashamed 😳

Might get out somewhere tomorrow after work though, woo hoo!!

Don't worry, mountain biking is not a crime.
You're thinking of skateboarding, which almost certainly is.

Had a nice evening blast to check out some tweaks on my bike.

Still itching to go again; first time at Tidworth Bike Park tomorrow eve. Very excited!!

@Hatter, MTBing with young kids is sadly frowned upon by mothers. It resulted in lots more night rides for me whilst everyone else slept. That was/is very addictive.....

Mikertroid+1 sort of but I find it's lack of time with the kids rather than a frowning mrs gd that stops me. I ride more at night because it doesn't impact the kids.

Riding with the kids is ace too but quite ddifferen.

G-d

My kids have discovered cycling after years of thinking it's "lame" (not been a pushy Dad as I'm aware I have 'The Condition') and we're starting to do some decent rides off road now. Long may it continue!

I love biking too, I'm also a petrol head, but its bikes that make me smile, I've a bad knee at the moment and its frustrating me terribly but i got out for a 25 mile gentle road ride with my wife last weekend and was grinning from ear to ear at the end.

The only problem with being a long term mtbr -

Why are the mountains getting steeper? 🙂

Wait 12 hours til the earth has rotated to the other side of its axis and the hills will get easier. Don't forget the lights...

First ride last night that felt like the tyres rolled rather than having to force them through the mud 😀

bikes rock! 🙂

Back from another storming eve ride hitting jumps with new found confidence (thanks Jedi!).

Super stoked. Looking forward to tomorrow's session!! 😆

woop woop. loving it eh

Great solo ride on Mendip tonight, out and back in under 2 hours. Covered in this hazy stuff called dust.
Can't ride again till Sunday, let's hope this weather hangs around

23years for me, 4 of which spent as a full on xc racer (2 years elite), now I'm now longer racing feel I wasted those 4 years not having as much fun as I could... making up for it now though!

Needed to add a post on this. Been out at lunchtime today (with the weather it would have been rude not to) to investigate a new spot. Weatehr perfect, trails perfect, bike even felt perfect. Coming back to work and seeing everyones gloomy faces peering in shop windows and mooching about I had to wonder why everyone doesn't do this!!!
