Greetings fellow earthlings

Hey there, new to this site, a friend of mine pointed me to it and I'm finding it a great resource. The forums are also a nice touch. I'm based in Canberra and have also only recently started riding after a 10 year break (am in late 30's). Even though I've had mountain bikes way before that I've never really taken them off road before (bit like the guy that buys a 4WD only for city use, pathetic I know).

However since I discovered the joys of off road I can't get enough. With only living 15 minutes drive away from Mt Stromlo I've been there a few times and most recently have ventured to Sparrow Hill to try out my brand spanking new Trance X1, fab spot and bike btw. Of course Canberra and surrounds offers plenty of variety and other ride venues so I'd don't think I'll be running out of places to ride in a hurry

Anyway just figured I'd say hello and well done on a great site!
