Time for me to get moving again!

[jhock]

My bike turns up today, Cannondale Moterra Neo 3, can't wait. The plan is to use it to get my fat a*se moving again. Not ridden MTB in anger for a few years so lots of gentle trail riding to get used to things again. I have a few bits I want to do, bars, stem and pedals, just to make it fit me. Being 6'3", short of leg and long in the back!

I post some pictures when I have put it together.

@jhock Very nice bike! Let us know how it rides.

I'm curious about the new Sram DB8 brakes. I started a thread about these brakes a little while ago. Very interested in your feedback

Your thoughts on SRAM's new DB 8 brakes

Anyone has tried the new SRAM DB8 mineral oil brakes (calipers, levers). I saw that many e-mtb brands are now fitting them on their 2023 models, from lower to higher end bikes. SRAM claims Code-like braking power. How do they compare with higher end brakes?

My first ride is done, nothing stupid, just half an hour locally to get used to things, and figure out if I need to change the setup.

This was the first actual ride on an eBike, other than a short test ride.

1. I am so unfit it is not funny!
2. It was so much fun!

Lots if work to be done to get fit, can't to get to some better trails and have a proper run.

Awesome to read your reasons for getting back in the saddle!

I find myself in a similar situation!

I've stopped the smoking, cut out the cr*p food, eating a much much healthier diet and cut down from 13st 4lb to 12st 1lb in 3 weeks.

Keep it going and keep shreding!
