Introduce yourself

[Dullscalpel]

Hi There,

 

I am Melissa. New to triathlon. Last time I rode a bike was in my teens, so I am a complete newbie. Signed up here to learn more about bikes, and I think I am more confused than ever. Settled on a new Cervelo S2 despite my confusion. I will probably buy a mountain bike at some point as well.

 

I also have a scuba diving problem. I sure don't have a shortage of expensive hobbies...

Hi EmJay! Welcome!

 

Where are you based? I am also new to triathlon so looks like we are in the same boat

Afternoon all

 

Also just recently started mountain biking as I got tired of being tired all the time.  Having an athletic background had me pushing myself from the start.  I am loving this new venture, which is way more healthier that car racing.

 

Got a Titan MTB last year December, MMI present for Christmas .  Have been riding at Benoni Country Club mostly and terribly afraid of the technical sections there  .  Did attempt them though but after fall no 5, my confidence went down the drain.  Have not given up though as I went to PWC this past weekend and did the entire blue trail, with the exception of some of the downhills which looked safer to walk the scared bike down  .

 

Will be building my technical skills slowly and training the bike not to be afraid, it has health insurance.

Hi Peeps,

 

Long time fan of Bikehub,

Love riding my roadbike, with mates or solo, even seen on a 26 mtb from time to time but road is my thing.

Done a few 94.7 s, no Argus yet but is on the bucket list for sure.

 

Anyhoo, see ya on the forum!
