Mye is a Beone Karma hardtail a one of them one's that rattles your bones.
My money no object is a diamondback sabbath with the gearbox.
My favourite bike gear is my helmet to protect my small brain.
My favourite trail is winlatter up to now.
My favourite manouvre is a wheelie. I wish i could do one.
My favourite bike tool is a bike mechanic to fix my bike so i don't chip a nail.
I am a 41 year old gardener for North Tyneside Council, i've been working for them for 25 years, thats more than a life sentence.
I have 5 kids so i've been quiet busy at times. I also have a partner Tracie who i've been with for 8 years. I was born in wallsend.
When i bought my bike i looked around for a club to join and found this one on the net, only a ten minute cycle ride away. I have'nt done any real mountainbiking before so the experiences i have had on the occasions i've been out with everyone have been great. I also keep tropical fish ( malawi cichlids) and love to watch moto GP.
Here's a couple of pics of my bike before and after and a pic of me vegetating on the settee.
