My First Impressions of Riding a Mountain Bike- Trek Marlin 8 Gen 3 2023

Date: 12/09/2023

Having recently bought a Mountain bike, The Trek Marlin 8 Gen 3, 2023. I finally got around to taking it for its maiden voyage. I haven't been riding a lot, due to some injuries i picked up, during and after the Bikepacking series. But I simply can't wait any longer! I found myself some trails to discover and put in various different surfaces to put her through her paces, to see how good a bike this Trek is. I've ridden plenty of offroad trails in my time, on a Tandem, road bike and a couple of different gravel bikes. But its now time to try them on a bike that is actually made to ride them. So top of Cheddar Gorge anyone?
