Lurker finally signs up

Hi @Ganymede and from one of the rabbits.

Glad you're enjoying the cycling. Don't worry about it only being a short distance - many of us started like that. It was a 3 mile each way commute in my case and now I've got my first century ride under my belt and want to do more.

Hi Phil

It is creeping up on me v-e-r-y gradually - the other day I did one of my usual A-B rides and found myself on a scenic detour, did and extra 3 miles just for fun.

Where will it all end???!

Welcome Ganymede!
It will end with you huffing and puffing up a big hill with other cyclechatters, thinking " how did I end up here, I only wanted to cycle the 5 miles to work and back"

Maybe so!

How lovely to get all your replies, especially with waving smileys.

Hillwimp, I am near Cranbrook in the low Weald, so not far from you at all.

Sully992, it was actually a personal post in the Chat forum which I really wanted to reply to, but I now find I can't and I'm not sure how long it will be! But I've always had questions I wanted to ask and have sometimes experienced incidents (nothing horrible) which I've felt like sharing, including a nice one which I posted yesterday in Today A Good Driver... in Commuting, so I may end up like Beebo with a squillion posts.

One thing I've always enjoyed on this forum is all the icons - I enjoyed the outbreak of rabbits a while ago - some are so cute and funny and some are rather elegant, and some frankly bonkers. As I signed up on the spur of the moment I haven't got the right one lined up for me but I don't want to stay "?" forever so I must find something. I quite like being a bit anonymous to begin with!

BTW what got me back to cycling was actually watching Bradley win the Tour. Honestly, and I only cycle 3 1/2 miles to the station. But I feel the spirit of cycling!!

I know Cranbrook well as i used to live in Goudhurst in the early 90's. Lovely part of the county and some fantastic cycling too, i am out that way often . Don't envy your cycle to the station on that busy road though. Be safe.

Aw, thanks. Actually I live in Frittenden so I can get to the station on nearly all back roads - I do use bits of the A229 to get to the farm shop or cycle into Cranbrook but I wouldn't like the drag up from the plant nursery through the woods - bad enough in a car with all those bends!

Goudhurst is beautiful but I'm happy to be less hilly!
