Hi all

[VougieDipond]

Been doing a bit of lurking on here. So though i would join and say hi and thanks to everyone who has given out advice.
Im 29 from East Kilbride Scotland. Bought a hybrid bike last week to commute. Racked up 66 miles ( 7 miles each way usually) this week despite getting a puncture on Thursday that put me out for 2 trips.
Not cycled since i was 15 until last Friday. I am hoping to get fitter and lose weight. My goal is eventually next summer to do 100k cycle to my home town in Girvan Ayrshire from East Kilbride.
One step at a time though. Really enjoyed my learning curve this week.

@VougieDipond.

Well done getting back on the bike. You've done a good distance in your first week. If you can keep up the regular (not necessarily every day) trips in the week and throw in a longer one at the weekend you should have no trouble building up to 100km by next summer.

There are quite a few members in your area so keep an eye on the informal rides section for CC Ecosse events.
