Evening all,
Just joined the forum today and it looks a good place to be around.
So, I'm Dave and like many others here, I'm just getting back into cycling after realising that my clothes contain a lot more material than they used to! In my case, it took a hospital stay and a (possibly incorrect) diabetes diagnosis to give me a kick up the bum. I'm now fighting fit again, or getting there and loving the sport. If you are interested, I did blog my experiences for a while at daveyb1981.blogspot.com - really must update it!
So, having ridden MTB's for as long as I can remember, I found that my FSR was running slick tyres and suspension pretty much locked out...so I got myself a road bike. Gotta say, I am really enjoying it. My mileage isnt quite what I would like, but managed the Manchester to Blackpool (85 miles for me with the journeys to and from Blackpool) with only an incident with a wet tram track marring the day slightly. Ouch.
Currently debating whether to do the Manchester 100 (miles) in a couple of weeks, trying to find time to get out on the mountain bike and trying not to spend too much money on shiny new bits!
Anyway, that's me.
Dave
