New toy, new hobby

Well ever since finishing up with basketball, maybe for good, I have really gotten into riding. I love getting on the saddle for fitness but mostly for pleasure.

Riding was initally a meens of staying fit, then developed into a release from the day to day, now its fast becoming a bit of an obsession (much to Jems 'joy'!). Surprisingly I love every aspect of bikes, especially the off road touring type. I want to do some long distance 'epic' rides where your not just riding in a big circle for 2 or 3 hours and returning home, but you are riding off into the unknown. Its a hobby that I can take as serious as I want or need and one I can do prodominantly in my own time.

Since getting my new toy, the '2012 Specialized Camber Comp 29er dual suspension' I have found it hard to pull myself off the saddle. Its just a dream to ride, not only because its a brilliant piece of engineering but it actually fits me! I have had it for a couple of months now and have ridden it on the road, on offroad tracks, double tracks and fast and technical single tracks. It performs better than I could have imagined, my new toy is just amazing.
