Hello Everyone,

I've been browsing the forum for about six weeks now, and thought I should introduce myself. I have recently rediscovered the joys of biking and "got the bike bug"! I went mountain biking in Southern Germany in May, followed by biking Berlin for a few days, and had the time of my life. I started researching bikes as soon as I got home. I live in a mountainous region with lots of trails, so going the mtb route made the most sense to me. This morning I am headed to the Saratoga Mountain Biking Association trails for a clinic with Jimena Florit Dolzadelli, sponsored by Team LUNA Chix Saratoga Mountain Bike. It was postponed yesterday due to weather. Keeping fingers crossed for clear skies after all that rain!

Thank you for all of the helpful information and sharing in the discussions. I look forward to learning more.

Best Wishes, --Nick
