Having not cycled for 10+ years I decided to buy a bike.
Didn't want a pure mountain bike because I planned on doing a lot of road cycling, but also wanted something that could handle offroad too.
I know sweet FA about bikes, but I went with a scott sub cross 30 and have to say I was impressed with how easy this thing is to cycle. And did some really steep hills and mud/water on farm lanes with it.
There's no mountain bike tracks in this county that I'm aware of, nearest being about a 90 minute drive and I didn't buy a bike to drive it places.
But there's plenty of ****ty backroads and farm lanes zig zagging between.
Did 8km no bother!
Read conflicting things about having the lock suspension but it came in handy for when things got really rough.
Either way I got the cycling bug now
time will tell as to how good a hybrid will be but it seems like the perfect all round bike for me.

Some photos taken from Saturday below. Every year Sheffield hosts a festival called 'The Outdoor city' to promote outdoor activities, part of which covers mountain biking with a mix of events from coaching companies offering newbie intro sessions at much reduced rates, kids events, and a dual-slalom urban race through the city centre. This year organisers added an informal 'party' at a local trail called Parkwood Springs located in the city on the grounds of the former dry-slope ski village (as seen in Steve Peats footage from the film 'Gamble').
Did a couple of hours of general messing about at the 'loam party' event including some dual slalom and trains before heading into the city centre for the evenings festivities at the urban dual-slalom race (stream replay on pinkbike).

Up until now I've purely done roads and farm lanes on the bike but I wanted to test it a bit further.
Nice 2km squared abandoned (for 20+ years) quarry with lots of lines and routes in it.
It performed very well and I'm impressed. Tyre's held up too despite all the large rocks, thorns and gorse. I wouldn't like to regularly subject the bike to these conditions though.

I haven't even seen any burnt shrub in fairness; fog was so dense I barely seen the trail ahead
Where were the fires?

In Lanzarote for a few days. I hired a MTB and did the 'trails' around the Caldera Volcan.
It was tough work: the trails were rough in most places but with some nice sweeping runs with natural berms.
I must say I was not impressed with this 1x10 gearing. It's OK at the low end but I ran out of gears once the speed picked up - whereas at this stage I'd have about 10 more gears to go on my traditional 3x10 setup.

I thought it would be a bit pants too , i bet the gearing is for tourists so quite low.
Its great, no mental maths or thinking to wonder about where you are in the cassette and does it make sense depending on the trail ahead to change the front.
Up or down, left side for seat, right side for gears means you can cane it concentrating on the trail.0 -
