Hi from Dorset

New to MTB. Took the Covid lockdown plunge and ordered a Specialized Turbo Levo via the internet which has just arrived. Wow. Pretty muddy around here and may have to spoil its looks by ordering some mudguards! As new to MTB I probably will be asking some fairly simple and naive questions.

PICS!

Welcome. Don't worry about the questions, we all started there at some point!

Where in Dorset mate? I am on the coast and best riding territory down this way is Wareham Forest, Puddletown Forest, Studland Heath. All are mostly sandy/loamy soil which is rideable even when the weather is as wet as now.....problem is we really need to ride from home during this lockdown and routes over farmland/bridleways/farm tracks etc are really bad. So much as I hate riding tarmac, I have taken to sticking to roads for the time being. Enjoy your new bike and fire away with your questions.

I'm from Dorset too, top spot! I live in Australia now though. Welcome to the forum.

Thanks. Recently moved from Wimborne area to outside Blandford. Plenty of bridleways and hills - looking forward to giving them a go. The hills here are chalky so dry out quickly.
