Hi - my name's Chris from Hastings in East Sussex and getting back into mountain biking and new to bikepacking at 65! Started mountain biking in and around the North Downs in north Kent in the early 1990s on a wonderful Orange Clockwork (which eventually got stolen in London). Subsequently rode a Cannondale (never got on with it), Specialized Rockhopper (pretty good) and Kona Muni Mula (loved it almost as much as the Orange!) before thinking I was too old for this malarkey - so switched to a Kona Jake CX bike about  7 years ago - currently set up for touring & gravel riding on wider tyres and lower gearing. But now missing the trails again, so looking for a good bikepacking rig - Sonder Frontier/Surly Bridge Club kind of thing! Knackered knees won't allow anything too radical these days, but aiming to ride the South Downs Way at some point soon.
