I have been dithering as to whether to write a blog on here for many reasons, mainly because once I start I don't stop..lol!

But I thought, what the heck? The people on here seem really lovely, plus I want loads of tips on biking, and this is most definitely the best place to ask.

I am a complete newbie to the biking world, my lovely new bike should be arriving in a week or so, and I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice of how an earth to start the amazing journies you all seem to be on. I have already been recommended to start with my local trail, but if anyone has any further opitions for a completely new beginner, I would be extremely interested (and when I say a beginner I seriously mean it ).

I have always loved cycling, but the pressure of work and life has made it a background theme in my life..however...those days are now over and I have made space in my life...well my life likes it or not!

 So bring on all tips, comments, anything and everything!!

 I really look forward to hearing from you guys soon!
