Hi guys

I am an absolute novice to Mountain Biking - I just bought a bike and hopped on this morning at the Foggy Morning run (Quarry Rd). I didn't register but just turned up this morning, but obviously missed anyone riding? I know the trail pretty well from my running days, but the hills seemed a bit steeper on a bike, especially the uphills! I bought a Calnago Cx60 dual suspension - it managed to stay upright, but couldn't quite make it up every hill. Must've been the gears!
