Hi All !

[brontesorearse]

Hi All,
Just thought i'd finally post,been coming to this site for ages!
I've been mountain biking for about 2 years (got a GT I-drive ),but about 3 months ago bought a Giant SCR 4 to get fitter and get out on a bike a bit more, some good roads (and Hills) where i live in the vale of glamorgan, anyway yesterday i was out on a loop i do on the weekends about 35 miles,it was'nt very good weather, quite windy ,i was 12 miles into my ride on the coast road in ogmore ,leaning into the wind struggling, when i realised i had this big grin on me mush and there it was ,i've been converted,my mountain bike mates are not happy cause i announced last night that i'm thinking of selling my GT to get 2 more road bikes ( winter and a better racer) .I just love it, now thinking of joining a club!
Sorry if i've rambled,just its changed my life !
Cheers !

Great name Welcome to the darkside, good choice of starter bike too, I have a SCR4 although its only original part is the frame, as I have upgraded everything else on it!

Keep the i Drive, just buy another road bike for the summer...Plenty of sales of 2008 bikes, time to bag a bargain!

Can't offer any bike buying advice, but planning for getting two sounds very sensible.

Welcome .

Welcome to the forum :0)

Road bikes are pointless, just means you're a lot further away from home when you break down or crash! ;0)

Don't drop the mountain biking!
(but get into the road too)

Hi and Welcome, I fell to the dark side from mtb,ing also I would suggest keeping the mtb as well if you can. The weather is never too crap to mtb it can be for a road trip though.

Greetings and welcome!

Two wheels whatever the style, it's just great to be out on the road, forest, track etc.

All you need is your CC team kit!
