It gets your heart going, you can feel the fresh air in your blood, the scenery is immense, it engages you both physically & mentally (more of a 50/50 ratio compared with riding motorbikes which IMO is 15/85), huge sense of achievement when you look at elevation you've just climbed....... Failing that it's just an excuse for a massive pįss up & to eat crisps til 2am with out feeling guilty about it.. However I did 8 weeks of road riding before last time & I still struggled more than anyone else, so if you're heavy already you'll find it very hard lugging you & your weight up the hill - I'm doing spinning classes and hill hunting on my MTB at the moment or I'll struggle again..

not to worry dude, everyone seems to be busy through may at the very least & I'm getting married on 16th of June, so I'm already leaning towards early/mid April maybe?
