My name is Ben. I have just moved back to the area after being away at University and College. Unforunately, I no longer know anybody in the area and so am trying to network a bit, get to know people and join one or two clubs.
I did some mountain biking when I was at Uni (only about twice though... ) and really quite enjoyed it. Unfortunately, my bike - which whilst being old, was a good mountain bike, was stolen in town (at Uni, not here in Witney)! I got an 'apollo' from halfords as a quick replacement. It isn't a very good bike at all - it feels 'rickety' but I needed it to travel from my house to lectures, so it did the job! I don't think it would be very good for mountain biking, so a new one may well be the way to go!
I was wondering if you all were still active? Also, what is the age range of the active/regular members? I am 27 in a couple of months - are people within that age range? I am not being age disciminate of course , but it is always nice to meet people who are ones own age, too .
Anyway, perhaps here from one or two of you soon!
Cheers.
