Hi from the Peaks.

[Jason945]

Hi all,

Just came across this forum while searching for reviews on the bike I already own(?). I have been MTB-ing for a few years, but, not in any serious capacity. Unfortunately, over the years my knees have taken a hammering and I have started to develop arthritis so I am concentrating on road miles, while I have some knees left.
I completed the Brewin Dolphin Peaks Tour and live in the south of the beautiful Peak District National Park, where going anywhere is a climb.
Only just moved here from the flatlands of Nottinghamshire so seeking slow but steady riding partners...
Thanks for the add.

Jay

No Mate, not a carpet fitter, squaddie in my younger days and a bit lacksadaisical with my personal osteo care
Seriously, stuff from my formative years coming back to haunt me, just as I have had my first nipper (I'm 47)

Thanks for all the welcomes.
