Cool tips.

I'm a roadie at the moment but just recently I've been thinking about expanding into off-road, thanks to you mtb ladies on this website.

Irulan - I think that pic you posted of yourself the other week, riding down a big rock, really inspired me. I'd love to think I might be able to do something like that one day. The lack of traffic and increase in mud is also appealing!

I'm also hoping it might help me with my road riding as my descending is still very cautious.

I've currently got a mtb bike but I think it must be made out of scaffolding poles as it weighs a ton, but while I'm saving up for a new one I might check out Ned Overends book ( great name!)

Bring on the mud...
