My first MTB - Purchased this weekend

I recently decided on a whim that I wanted to get into MTB. I watched a bunch of videos, compared a bunch of brands and ended up with a Stumpjumper 15 Coil.

Can't wait to get into the trails.

I tried taking it for a ride around the neighborhood and I burned out in like 6 minutes. Tried again later on the same day same result. The next day my butt burned out in 3 or so min and my legs were burning.

My office job has turned me to mush lol, it will probably be a while before I am "Trail Ready", even beginner trails. If my butt and legs burn out in 5 to 10 min, I need to do some endurance training a bit first.

Hoping this will whip me into shape, and after 15 years of doing nothing but going to the office and going home. I hope to see some of the world. I plan on traveling with my bike, maybe even leaving country.

Whatever comes, for the first time in a long time I'm actually looking forward to the future!
