    As the title suggests, I'm back cycling after a long absence.

    So I have taken the plunge and bought a Giant Fastroad SL 0 (sort of a flatbar road bike) with the initial intention of building up some level of fitness and distance before deciding what I want to do next (staying on the road or go to the mountains)

    Back years ago when I was cycling I mainly did mountainbiking - cross country and a bit of downhill. I also did some trials riding. I'm not at a stage where I'd be able to tackle either just right now but will hope to at some stage in the future.

    It's good to be back!

    12 months time you will be the proud owner of
    a nice hybrid, a hard tail, a full sus, and a road bike.
    Enjoy :-)

    what he said, the start or returning to an addiction is always fun times. Great time of the year to get back into it. I lapsed for a few months but I am loving being on the bike at this time of the year.

    Enjoy
