.:Mountain Biking:.
There are not many mountains in Buckinghamshire or Northamptonshire, but trust me - there are plenty of hills!
I had a GT Pantera and migrated to an Orange Evo 2 Ltd Edition in 2003. I like it because it has all the goodies (hydraulic disk brakes, front fork, etc.), has an excellent frame and it's made in England!
I usually go biking in the forests in Northampton and Milton Keynes
