Having been here a few weeks I thought I should introduce myself
39, 17 stone (as of this morning - 18 at Christmas), smoke too much and too long sat at the desk at work.
An avid Geocacher my wife struggles to walk 8 to 10 miles on Geocaching rings.
I thought it might be an idea to dust off my steed, a 20 year old (ish) Carrera Mission. Having looked it over it needs tyres, chain, front and rear sprockets, brakes and lubed. Assuming I could get the parts I guessed at over £100 to replace them.
The next day work announced the latest round C2W and I have signed up for a Boardman urban Team (I think!) MTB, on the recommendation of one of my Explorer Scouts who works in the Bike Hut at Halfords.
The intention is to ride to work (about 3 miles) and hard pack trail for caching and fun.
Hopefully this will help with weight loss too! Time will tell I think.
Oh, and Strava is far too addictive...
