My Ride

I started my adventures two years ago with my first mountain bike, my Trek 4500 WSD (or Mr Trekadee, as he’s otherwise known).  He served me well, taking me from being an extremely nervous rider with very little biking experience, either on or off-road, to someone who can get around the red routes at trail centres without the aid of an ambulance.  He’s had a few upgrades, namely the Reba forks replacing the Dart 2.5s, and Avid Juicy 3s replacing the V-brakes.

Recently I’ve got my first full-susser, a Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Elite (or Professor Von Stumpy) .  So far we’re getting on rather well, and I hope this will continue.  So far the only things I’m looking to change are the grips (the supplied ones are a bit thin and hard for my tastes), and the pedals (it’s supplied with cleats!  Cleats, I tell thee!)
